"The Art Amateur" by Kim Smith 2013
Something a little different for this week! I had this canvas prepped with black gesso for a workshop project that I have no idea what it was for anymore. I decided to do this mixed media painting with collage, acrylic paints, pens, inks and glitter but wanted to keep the background dark and simple. Not easy for someone who always wants to add layers and layers! The woman is a black and white photo that I tinted with pens, inks and acrylics...the collage images are from Itkupilli. I really loved doing this one!
Happy Weekend and Happy PPF!
