First mixed media piece. The background is created using wallpaper then stamped & textured many layers & sanded in spots to help the background show through. Then painted with acrylic & oil pastels. Not sure how well you can see the details at this size but look close - the background is the fun part!
I am not able to get the same depth of rich color with the brush as I can with the palette knife but I love the background. Model is the lovely  |

The figure is really nicely done, the subtlety of the blue works great. The background is my favourite part though, I can imagine it as being something that I would like as a piece by itself, provided that it wasn't too big.
I do love the background. I am working now on trying to use the knife application over a patterned paper background. The background is not as detailed as this one because the knife covers heavier than the brush so you cant see as much but with scratching and removing I can still see some.
I am also trying some resist too. I feel more like playing right now than completing anything
