Angela, how did you create the mottled effect in the green areas? It's kind of spotty and i really like that.

@lmjacobs Hello, to create that spotted look all i did was added a darker green paint and blotted it in various sections. Im glad u like it. Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting.

I tried making a textured area with tracing paper and adhered it with matte medium and it gets air bubbles underneath the paper, Do you just leave the air bubbles in there? I tried tissue paper once before and the paper kept tearing and getting stuck to the brush. Do you only have one layer of paper on the canvas or multiple layers? Help!

@sashamommy I'd just leave the air bubbles. I think i may give it an interesting effect. as for the tissue paper i usually just use only one layer. I put a thin layer of glue down and just lay the tissue paper over top lightly and kinda gather it a little to make the wrinkles with my hands.

I love your paintings because you have such depth in your work but at the same time they aren't extremely busy like some abstract art that sometimes can be too overwhelming and not pleasing to look at. When you say you used tissue paper, do you mean that you used paper like Kleenex or like the kind you stuff in party bags for giving a gift? Your work has a serene feel with the way you blend and use texture.

@sashamommy Thanks so much im glad you like this art work. I use the tissue papper that stuffed in party bags for giving gifts. Try colors too for a colorful flair.
