Watch my process--I started out with a 12 x 24 wood cradle board.
My favorite are the deep edged ones, and they come in all sizes. I'm really liking working on wood a lot more than canvas lately especially for collage (less chance for air bubbles).
So first, I made a background--
This is a fun part--just play and experiment, because if you don't like it, you can paint over it--just like painting papers--you can't mess up.
And this is where my background becomes part of my foreground--
.....and then adding in the details...
And still more playing--this time I'm seeing elephants--
These guys needed to be on a box, and I had the perfect cigar box for them.
This is such a fun way to paint--you can keep it abstract or keep going--there's no right or wrong.
