Coming Into Focus~ Acrylic and Pencil on Canvas ~ 32 x 32

Many, many layers of acrylic washes and pencil shadings are used in this composition. The color palette is different than ones I am currently using in other art pieces. I freely experimented with applying and wiping away paint to reveal delicate undertones. I rediscovered the joy of colored pencils. It became a refreshing experience because subtle blending allowed shapes to come into focus.
