Altered Canvas

This is a 12x12 altered canvas project that I made recently. I stained the canvas first with a brown paint, then glued on my torn paper pieces and flower(Basic Grey). I freehand painted the swirls with pink,brown, and black acrylic, accented with black sharpie marker, and added dry brushing with pink and brown. After that was all dry, I added a layer of thick gel medium over the flower, and brush strokes to give it a dimensional painted look.
