This is a project from Melody Ross.
I used what supplies I already had,
so that meant a smaller canvas (7 by 5 inches).
I also decided to do mine portrait,
rather than Melody's landscape original.
I didn't have any heavy-body acrylics,
so I just used my regular set of cheap acrylics.
Mars Black (background)
Titanium White (lettering)
I used Golden Soft Gel (Matte) Medium as my collage medium.
Lemon Yellow (hat)

For the edges of the canvas,
I used ecoGreen's Pure Gold acrylic paint
instead of sheets of gold leaf
over a background of Burnt Sienna.
