Raven

I've started to explore mixed media on canvas and find the larger format pretty exciting.  
The years of working mostly in my journals has helped me evolve to this different format.

In this work, much of the background is made from cut and applied papers, some of which are from old book pages.   All are applied with matte medium, and layers of thin paint give them the color variations.
The Raven is purely acrylic paint.

After finishing this piece, I'm ready to continue more work on canvas, in addition to the work in my journals.   It's good to set new challenges !

I like it! How exciting that you are working in this larger format and on a different surface.

Absolutely beautiful! The raven is definitely the center of attention, I love the detail, but I also love how you did the leaves! Looking forward to see how you grow in this new medium!
