Ink Flowers

This 35x40 canvas is pretty awesome, if I do say so myself. I enjoyed making it and it actually took a while because of all the layering. I started with a newspaper background, then used glues and mediums to mix black and white into an inconsistent semi-transparent gray. I applied and mixed with the brush and my hand to give it swirly textures and crisp definitions. Then acrylic paint for the funny frame and ink for the flowers. Some flowers are made of tissue paper too and the origins of the black soil of the flowers stem from black tissue paper.
