Instructions:
Gather your embellishments.

Start by roughly sketching all the letters on the canvas. Paint the background around the letters with a mix of Gesso with a tiny bit of Transparent Yellow Iron Oxide.

Glue down your desired materials with Matte Medium.

Paint titanium white inside the right side of the letter. Use value grey around the border. Paint one part of the paper with quinacridone gold. Drybrush carbon black on corrugated cardboard. Stamp script with carbon black very softly. Draw around the letter with charcoal for shadow and make some lines with the permanent marker. Drybrush with titanium white.

Glue down the paper on the right side of the letter. Use gesso and transparent yellow iron oxide to blend the paper into the background.

Use the same script stamp as for the first letter and stamp with carbon black. Clean your stamp immediately.

Glue down more embellishments and create shadows with charcoal.

Use the permanent marker on some spots and scribble. Drybrush with titanium white.

Start painting the letter inside with gesso and quinacridone gold. Stamp script with carbon black.

Glue down your fabric, paper and cardboard embellishments.

Create shadows with charcoal and scribble with permanent marker.

Drybrush with titanium white.

Stamp script beside the letter. Paint quinacridone and gesso inside the letter. Glue down your paper. Paint gesso on top and blend the paper into the background.

Stamp another script with carbon black on top.

Glue down more paper and cardboard. Create shadow with charcoal. Scribble around the letter with the permanet marker. Drybrush titanium white.

Lay all canvas side by side. Apply sticker and/or rub ons. I'm also painting the missed spot of quinacridone red on the letter O. Seal the canvas with ultra – matte varnish.
