New Mixed Media Portrait Painting - Dream



This the second of my two new original paintings. This one is titled 'Dream'.
I had a disaster with a portrait I was doing on this piece of wood so I decided to just scrap it and paint over it with this distressed peach background and then painted the girls face on top of the background kind of the opposite way to what I usually do which would be to sketch and draw out the face first then paint it and then add the background but this was so much easier I think it will turn out to be one of those things where something goes terribly wrong but you end up learning from it and maybe working out a new way of doing things!

Dream is up for sale in my etsy shop!
