7/15/25 watercolor/collage a 2021 plein air watercolor / by Philip Tarlow

11:47 AM: this morning i made this watercolor/collage. it strated out as a view from above of 3 figures in a museum with a glass floor. it was flipped 360, so if you turn it upside down, you might be able to make out the 3 figures, but probably not since they’ve been painted & collaged over. included in the collage materials are pieces of black ink quill pen drawings, which i make every so often then cut up and save for collaging.

7/15/25 watercolor/collage, 23x31 cm. Canson watercolor paper

this is a plein air watercolor from 2020 made at cottonwood creek and then brought back to my studio, where i turned it into a collage.
