great works!!! how do you present your artworks to potential buyers? do you frame them or as is?

[CapricornArtist73]

Usually people buy them as is. I just put the works into a folio and they can select the one they want. I usually have a few folders in galleries as well as when i go to art trade fairs.

super cool, love it. what's bitumen/what is the purpose of it? thanks so much.

[CapricornArtist73]

Bitumen is also refered to as Asphalt if you live in america. The bitumen just enriches the colours but also helps create depth in the work!

Hi! What paint do you use for the ones you cut out from please? Do you have any videos of the process?

[raeart]

[pellin3030]

white spirits and mineral spirits are the same? i don't find bitumen anywere wat else can i use?

[fufugal]

enjoyed this! trying to figure out what most artists do as far as scanning, copying. when I tried this i didn't care for the look of glued on peices on my work.... it's just me. maybe bitumin ties it together. I wish I could explain this better...do u understand what I;m trying to ask..heheh.

Interesting technique - would like to see the end result in the flesh so to speak

[MissNataliesMakeup]

this is unique and fabulous, kudos!

[commarx]

the board you used as a mat for putting the glue onto your collage would look realy good as an abstract painting aswell, from this angle anyway. do you ever work on a larger scale?... nice work x

[doasinfinity01]

Lots of steps there in that technique! But the end picture was original!

Thanks for posting here on you tube!
