Love your canvas Andrea! You have grown so much since I met you in class at Donna's studio, a few years ago, you were a great table mate! Such a fun idea, loving the Artists Gang!

Love how you used that stencil to give you the basic outline of the face. This is a beautiful canvas. Thank you for sharing..

Wow, this is absolutely stunning! My kids were ooohing and ahhhing the entire video. I absolutely loved the bright vivid colors and how you used the stencil to give you a foundation for the face but painted everything else in. Such a great idea!

This is amazing ... Her work is superb ... Love how she only used a few colors for face shading cause that alone can be a confusing task...

may I ask which product you use to fix and seal your projects?
Posted by: dede | February 03, 2015 at 08:45 AM
Tank you for your explanations of your blog in 3 parts !
Posted by: Domalice | February 04, 2015 at 08:26 AM
Hi Dede - it depends. I will typically use a satin spray varnish if I do seal it, although a lot of the time because I'm just creating the work for myself I leave it as is and I don't seal it.
