Cali the Diva

I had already gessoed my background in preparation for this class LOL, so I just went with it. I do like the outcome of the background although the watercolour did not flow quite as much as if I had used watercolour paper. Then I used just strip of scraps on my desk in colours that coordinated. But when I finished adhering all the strips, oh my was it loud and way too busy. So, I used watered down acrylic paint and white washed the whole area. At first, I was really not sure about this layout but it has grown on me!!! Thanks for a great lesson Irit
