Part of my process involves building up layers and then deconstructing them. I enjoy using random cutouts, magazine pictures, embossing foil, packing materials, anything I can find, to build up the texture.
In the first video, I am building the layers with these items and gel medium. In the second video, on a different artwork, I am peeling back the embossing foil backing, which leaves gorgeous organic sparkly sections.
Once everything is dry, I will begin painting on top of these layers, scraping it back again, and the cycle continues.
