db Waterman Profile picture Urban mixed media and collage on paper, edited in photoshop with a self-made crackle artwork.
All my collages are built with all kinds of photos, pictures and images that I have collected over the years. First I paint a background with watercolor or acrylic paint and edit it with stamp printing, paint splashes and scribble drawings. The collage is then applied in layers and sometimes pulled off to create an old and weathered effect. By applying the layers over each other, a transparent effect is created, as is only possible with watercolor paint. The first layers are visible through the collage layers. Most collages are processed with acrylic paint, in the form of stamping or simply painted over. In addition, I often use a ballpoint pen or pencil to draw on the collages. Many small details will be visible if the work is printed in a larger format.

I remembered that as a young girl I so much liked to cut images from magazines to paste them into school agendas, scrapbooks and even on my bedroom door. Add to this the fascination I always had for walls filled with old posters, flaking paint, scrappy billboards and weathered paint, it opened an unexpected door for completely new opportunities. Completely unintended I found a new way of working, I felt pleasurably and comfortably at home in. What started out as copying old walls with worn out posters has grown into many series of new visual storytelling. Not simply just eclecticism, but bringing together many seemingly incoherent story lines into one completely new story, my own personal story. Initially it lacked the one thing that is important to me, the transparency that normally only is possible with the use of watercolor. The unforgiving layering of transparent watercolors is a challenge I would not want to miss and after a lot of trial and error I finally succeeded in getting the collages as transparent as a watercolor. Every layer of paper, oil, acrylic, pencil, crayon, ballpoint, watercolor, ink, charcoal and whatever else I use, remains visible in the artwork. You can imagine it made me feel the queen of the ball !
