'OUT OF THE DARKNESS'
My first go at using moulding compound. It is great stuff to work with. White compound, good texture, dries nice and hard, easy surface texture to apply paint over.
This is my eldest daughter Kayla, and when she showed me this photo of herself, the first thing I said was that there was a piece of art in that photo.
Sometimes we go through 'rough spots' during our lives, they say there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, and so this piece is representative of Kayla coming out of her dark tunnel.
I thank her for allowing me to share this piece with who ever sees it.
Materials used:
8" x 8" black print canvas with 1 1/2" edge, black paper for collage layering round photo and edges, moulding compound, black acrylic paint, soft (gloss) gel medium, photograph of subject.
