Winter's Cross

A piece I have been working on all month. Finally done.
The first of my seasonal series.
Had a contest over at my facebook page www.facebook.com/MooresArtsGal… for the title of the piece. The winner was Everett Neal. Thanks so much for the wonderful title suggestion! You can see the step by step progress at my FB page too.
Unfortunately, the iridescent acrylic is not showing up in the dress nor background.

NOTE: Because this piece was too large for my scanner I had to scan it in two images and then piece it together in photoshop and then adjusted curves so the scanned image would match the original. Oh and I put my copyright name on it using my own brush I created.

Thank you all for the favs!

Medium: Colored Pencil, Iridescent Acrylic, and Watercolor Pencil
Size: 8.0" x 14.0"


Just another little note, I usually create my photo reference in photoshop using stock photos and brushes. I then will adjust curves, color etc., and then l print the image out for my reference.
