At the workshop with Anne Bagby she told us it's always a great idea to collage the backs of your small canvas boards and use a small detail brush to paint the sides black. This gives the work a wonderful "finished" look.
There wasn't time to do this at the workshop
but I have done so now that I'm back home again.
Here are two of the 5x7" collages I did
with their now collaged back sides.

Anne said she often puts a bunch of these in a basket at a show and people love to go through them - enjoying both sides. A great idea for my next studio sale.
Wow! Great idea. I've never done this with my canvas boards. Now I can tell Cathie I'm buying new canvas boards so I can plan coordinating backs!
ReplyDeleteShe will, of course, love this.
Chris - "Yes really sweetie, I buying these so I can collage the backs"! - that'll fly.
