 | Remove the plastic by pulling from the edge across your painting. It will have a sticky feel where the paint is adhered to both surfaces. This is the fun part! Here you see the plastic pulled from the top, half-way. Notice the lines and the forms left by the plastic! |
| After removing the plastic, turn the painting in different direction. You are looking for repeat patterns, shapes, and focal areas. These will give you ideas for subject matter. Immediately I noticed a strong facial element in this painting! Here is the horizontal view.... |  |
 | ...a close up to show the facial image I want to focus around...sometimes these cropped areas make nice smaller paintings! |
| ...a vertical view...this is the one I chose to work with... |  |
 | You may want to save some of your whites or lines in the initial colors. Use masking fluid in these areas. I've decided to use the vertical shapes to develop into a painting. The facial image will become the focal area at this point but the entire painting needs more depth and structure. It's time to begin painting with my brush! |
