(starting today -- I'll show the finished project tomorrow)
First I gessoed the canvas, then added coloured paper to the sky and white paper to the houses. Then I washed gesso over the houses. At this point I planned to make the houses all white.......
Then I added more black and white paper to the houses,
but it was too busy, so I decided to add some gesso washes to tone it down...... (oops, maybe a bit too much) Then I added some details with graphite pencil.
I decided that it was too white... so I added some washes of colour.....
and then......(you'll have to check back tomorrow to see what I did.... Did I wreck the whole thing and toss it out? Did I manage to finish it and love it? Stay tuned.......)

very nice! hahahahaha
I love the color wash at the end!
I really enjoyed seeing the evolution of your house collage. You could have stopped at any stage and it still would have worked!
You had better not have tossed it out!! i love it! can't wait to see more!!
Hugs!
