My process for creating “Pallet of Parrots” -
I did a simple sketch in my sketchbook. I prepped a wooden paint pallet with clear gesso and then drew my sketch on the pallet.

Then I cut and taped strips of the label paper to a foam core sheet to keep them still and painted them the colors I wanted to use for my collage. I tried to incorporate different textures, brush strokes and color blends to make each paper fragment interesting. Then beginning with the background I tore  and glued  bits of paper to the pallet to create the design.
