Art Gets Messy When You Go Too Fast!
It’s also frustrating when you have a plan and you’re in a rush to get it done. My ideas was to use collage, transparent layers, stenciling and add texture with modeling paste. Things went a bit wacky when I was using the pixel stencil with black modeling paste… and nope, I didn’t editing out the part where I smudged everything.
