Hearts Aflutter

Mixed media painting of two angel children exchanging a flower.

The background is mostly watercolor with some newsprint and a touch of acrylic.

I manipulated the heads, arms, and legs of the kids in Adobe Photoshop to give it a halftone look like in old print or screen printing. Those pieces were laser printed, transferred to the canvas, and then the paper was removed (very time consuming, but worth the effort).

Multiple stencils and high end spray paints were used to build the rest of the painting.

I used a clear matte medium to cover and protect the entire piece.
