These surfer girls are created using collage and watercolor as a way to map out compositional ideas. I wish to create large paintings of these female nudes, but am still experimenting with medium. (oil, watercolor using sea water, oil mixed with watercolor background, oil on top of ocean dip dyed watercolor canvas?) I am aiming to give these female nudes a new voice, as active strong independent women, rather than an object used for the male gaze.
