THE SELF

                         The Self- a persons essential being that distinguishes them from others
I did this painting in my newly set-up studio when we moved into our place in edmonton alberta. I wanted to try out using stencils and some new techniques I had learned so I started with a wash and spritzed it with water. then after letting it dry i added a small wash of yellow ocher in some spots then got to work with my stencils from The Crafters Workshop and Tim Holtz. I used gel medium and mixed in some colour using lindy's stamp gang magical mica's to apply over the stencils.
