Cautious hare (2015) Original Collage by Fiona Plaisted

This hare seemed to be cautiously making its way through the grass ready to run at the slightest noise. I hope I've captured some of the magic that surrounds these beautiful creatures. I've layered the hare and background with patterned paper and picked out areas of light with sequins.

I start the canvas with a rough pencil sketch and then I add the coloured paper before building up the layers with acrylic paint. The last thing I add are the embellishments of thread, bits of pottery and glitter to pick out or highlight certain areas.
