I started by priming a piece of Walnut Hollow wood with gesso. Then using Faber-Castell Polychromos colored pencils, PITT black pen, Art Grip Aquarelle pencilsI drew my Bloom Girl, "Faith". Once the drawing was finished I accented the background with ICE Resin® Shattered Mica in Silver. On the altered background it gives a nicely aged touch.
Once the piece was done I finished the wood off with a thin layer of ICE Resin®. It gives the piece a high gloss finish and I love the glass look. It expands on the vintage feel I wanted to give the piece.
