This is one of my favorite spreads thus far. First, I put down a thick, textural layer of gesso. Next, I rubbed black paint on to accent the texture of the gesso. A photo was then glued on and watercolor painted on the photo. The image was printed on an inkjet printer on regular copy paper, so when the watercolor was applied, the ink bled a little and softened the shapes in the photo. The effect was astounding to me and the concept is something I may play with further.
