amazing, just breathtaking when i first saw it.

I was trying to create a piece with newpapers and whatnot but it didnt work out for me. it kept falling apart. how were you able to achieve the overall look?

I am really glad that you like it.

I cut out sections of newpaper and used gloss gel medium to adhere them to the canvas. I always put a thin layer directly on the canvas, then on the back of the newspaper to ensure there will be no air bubbles or anything. Then I use a flat brush to coat the newpaper clipping in a thin layer. I press down gently to make sure the newpaper clipping is smooth with no wrinkles (plus it gets rid of any air bubbles you missed). If you don't want it to be too glossy, you can also use matte gel medium.

After the newspaper clippings are in place and dry, you just paint until your heart's content. (b ^ _ ^)b
