sometimes
less is more
after working with some really dark colours
it was a challenge to go
subtle
i added a map to the entire canvas
clear wax and cheesecloth
i applied the oil paint on top
and used lots of mineral spirits
to remove most of it
which really shows off the texture
added a few dried leaves
and
you can get a better look of the map
one of my photos
inverted and then added a mirror image
and last
a photo transfer of some old text
------------
i'm really happy with the results and would like to do a "series"in this style
Nancy, I really like this - love the addition of the cheesecloth. You are so creative!
