i am practicing recording  the steps in the paintings but get involved with the process

and often do not click the first few steps.  i will tell you about them...

i collaged a canvas board with paper that had paint on it.   

after it dried i sanded it a bit.   since the colors were still  brighter 

than I wanted for the background I put a wash on it.  

while the paper was still damp,

i started to roll off some of the paper with my fingers.

then i added another wash and some background writing before

gluing down the image i chose.

after a few more layers, here is the finished piece.
