I had a fun but messy time this morning making this background! I used oil pastels which I smooshed around with baby oil gel. Then I applied some watered down gesso and splattered it using a toothbrush. Thanks for the tip Tiff about first putting it in a box to prevent all the splatter from going everywhere!
