Have you ever been driving down the road and an idea for something to create popped into your head? That's how this boy came about. I saw a roadside stand and imagined a gangly boy trying to sell his affection from it.
I used paper piecing with gesso for my canvas, black pen, watercolor paint, water soluble crayons, stamps, india ink and gel pens. I believe keeping the color pallet strict made the overall look must stronger then if I had just slapped in a bunch of expected colors. Did I mention that I just love this background?
