Using my photograph as a reference for a collage...
And using a piece of mat board, I began with a simple sketch
and then just blocked in color with acrylic paint
Then I gathered papers that satisfied the colors I wanted to use and began layering
and layering, coating both sides of the papers with medium as I went along
and layering and layering, trying to create a painterly effect
and now I will add a little more detail to the candle flames and put a finishing coat over all. Almost done.
