She's Baaack!!


Whoohoo my muse came to visit me today, I'm hoping she's back to stay!
I created this piece using an 8x10 corner canvas I bought awhile back. They're designed to fit in a corner to hang but I had orginal thought it would be interesting to use it backwards.

I first colored it with a combination of Color Mist colors then before they were dry I dry brushed gesso over them then dried with the heat gun and repeated it once more. I then sealed it with PYMII and dry brushed again with gesso and then used punchinella like a stencil with chalk inks then I heat set it and sealed again with PYMII.

  6. The frame is beautiful but I especially love your method, shading, and choices of layering on the onside. It gives so much depth that you really feel as if you're peering down into her world. Very nice!
