db Waterman Profile picture YOU OUGHTA KNOW is a Mixed Media landscape ; created with a flower collage of magazine paper combined with acrylic paint and pastel crayons.

Arranged on top of each other in such a way as to create a deeply layered whole. The painting consists of 4 to 5 mixed media layers.

The inspiration for this modern mixed media / collage artwork comes from my love of exciting psychological thriller series.

This love arose in my early childhood, when I often watched thrilling series with my father.

Children have a natural need to explore things. Sometimes without thinking.

That's part of growing up. It makes them stronger and more confident.

I have very good memories of my childhood, when there was a lot of room to explore things, together with friends.

Because that's what the painting is about: friendship. Being strong together. Discovering things together. Something that unfortunately happens less and less among today's youth.

The brightly coloured collage of flowers symbolises the safe and familiar world of children.

The dark part is meant to represent the dark, unknown and attractive challenge.

The inspiration for this technique are the torn posters and peeling paint on old city walls. For many people a sign of neglect and decay, but for me a source of inspiration.

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 !
