The Raven

I started out by painting a background on a 16x20 canvas. The top part is a deep purple, almost black.

I collected images that I wanted to use and did a little embellishing to them with markers and rubber stamps.

Once all the images were glued down I did some more painting and stenciling.

I use a thin layer of modeling paste where ever I want some texture.

Once the modeling paste is dry I paint over it and blend it in to the background. I add metallic paints and glazes for the final steps.

I enhance what I like and cover what I don't until I am happy with the end result.
