Short tutorial

To start with the first layer: Gesso    

Then you draw the girl. With a regular graphite pencil.

Then you start to color your girl with acrylics.

Studio Paint, Ranger Dabber and Golden Acrylics

Then start outlining with a fine-nib marker. 

And I gave her a pair of rub-on wings.

 For the background I used a mix between: Golden FluidAcrylic Cobalt      Teal, Dabber Acrylic Pearl and Perfect Pearls Pearl. 
Dry carefull with a heattool!

Next a layer of Glossy Decopage. 

You can also use Glossy Gel Medium or Glossy Mod Podge. 

And finally add some stars to the background. 
I used a Crafters Workshop Template and some Mister Huey´s Mist White or Distress Stain Picket Fence. 
Some embellishments 
and 

she´s ready to hang in the tree...

Girl in the wind...

When i've been painting i waist no paint. The remaining paint I "slap" in my journal.  So this is what i did last night. The girl I sketched over it, formed itself by the motions of the paint. For example the hair is following the strokes of the "dark" green paint... 

Some more sketches...

Here are some more rough sketches...

2 very different ones :)

                

This one is inspired by Camilla d'Errico
