layers

I love seeing the steps below the finished piece, and that is the theme over butterfly effect.... go here to see more!  soooo....

although you saw this piece on friday, the video i posted was not working the way i wanted and the last 2 minutes of painting it didn't post.... ok , i know, maybe it's not the devices, maybe it's just me, I can't seem to get computer stuff to work properly.... any how...

here's what it looked like first...glueing down the paper from the video...
 gesso over the shiny cover...

 blue over all....
 smooshes of pink....
 now gray lightly over all... then wipe areas off with a baby wipe....
 the face is acrylic and oil pastels....
and here's the final piece, done again..

and so as not to be too repetitive... here's something new I made last week or so...

 with closeups....


so...

Come back friday for more art....

 tons of art,

TONS...

I mean it, I've been busy with two new obsessions!

Tons!!!

    I'm so glad that you joined in and showed us your layers---my favorite part is seeing the 1st photo and the last together--amazing how beautiful art comes to be.

    Awesome! I did not expect the final painting. :) It looked like a world map in the beginning. :) Love it! And love the heart thingy as well. :)
