This painting started off very different than how it ended! There were lots of mishaps along the way and half of the painting slid off the canvas by the time it dried. Instead of throwing it away, I decided to play around with it instead and I ended painting some areas with negative space. Then I decided to add some resin and crushed glass. I was busy getting ready for my art show, so I couldn't film the whole process (it would have been an hour long too!) but I did film the end result and I am happy with it! It is so pretty in person and the crushed glass shimmers in the light. It just goes to show that you can do a lot with a painting even after it has dried and all is not lost if you make something that you are not happy with at first. Hope you enjoy the video! Thank you so much for watching. Happy painting!
