So this week I'm the guest host over at The Butterfly Effect and it's all about creating layers in your artwork. And I explained in my post that when I was making my original piece, I was using a smaller canvas (8 x 8) for my paint palette because I'm tired of wasting paint and wanted to do something with the the paint that I always have left over. So every time I was finished painting, I would take the unused paint on my "palette" and just play around with it.
........so.....here was the first layer of another painting....and I kept going with it...
.....and I kept adding so many layers that I hated that I lost count, but then I started liking it...
(wow--it doesn't even look like the original canvas)....there were so many layers, that I was able to see the house on the left side that I pulled out and if you look at the top right-hand corner, you can see an image of a butterfly--which kind of led me to a butterfly theme.
