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...

Bloom True in my big art journal...

I did some painting in my art journal.

 Later I applied some changes...:

Bloom True, classes by Flora Bowley!

I've been following painting classes with Flora Bowley and it was an adventure...

We went through lots of layers, emotionally and on the canvas. 

She encouraged us to tune into our intuiton and play! Letting go of "wanna do it right"! Don't be afraid to cover up the parts you really like. Trust your intuition! Be brave!

The painting went through lots of stages. (it goes through a couple of  "ugly teenager phases"  {how she calls it} :) )

This is my process:

And this is an small canvas inspired by this workshop.
Pictures of the big painting (24 by 32 inch) will follow...

This is the background! Instead of all the layers paint, i used some design paper...
