My Painting Process

For this painting, I looked through my pattern art papers, placed them on the canvas, then experimented with color.  I really wanted to have a lot of texture in this work so, I used Cold Wax Medium and scraped it with a palette knife.  After that, I painted over it with oil paint and oil pastels.  The final part of the process was taking a photo of the work and playing with it in Photoshop until I created something I liked.
