Peace and Open House

Each person has to find peace within. And peace to be real must not be unaffected by outside circumstances.
~Mahatma Gandhi~


Here is a  little progression shoot for you.


Always starts with the sketch


Add a little color


Add the Christmas Carol Music Paper.
I always use Golden Matte Gel Medium
Make sure you use the brayer to get all the bubble out from under the paper


Added the hair with some paper that I made.


Used a stencil to make the letters.
Again out of the paper I made.


Glued the Peace with Gel Medium
Also added some swirls in the background to add some glory


 "Let us forgive each other - only then will we live in peace"

~Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy~
