No, I'm not stuttering, but thought it was kind of fun that all my elements/techniques started with "B" so I have a Brown Bag, Bokeh Background, Bookpage birches collage going on here! I started with my brown bag piece-used a foam brush to layer a coat of Gesso over it first. I then made my snow hills in white paint. I tore my book pages and used an Espresso dauber along the edges. I used a dry brush to add the brown bands horizontally then used another dry brush to add white paint. I set these aside then worked on the Bokeh bg. I started with blue gelato by daubing circles on then using a slightly damp finger to blend them in. Next, I added the Spun Sugar daubed circles and blended them. I used a blue and then white dauber to add more circles. I also added a bit of definition to my hills with the blue Gelato. To adhere my birches I used my finger to spread Gesso over the back of the trees. After they dried in place, I added a bit of white acrylic snow at their bases.
