Mixed Media Collage With Two Birds!

Hello, all!

Welcome to another art demo, this time using mixed media to make a collage with two birds!
This technique of negative painting I have used before, and it's a really fun way to use up some of those Gelli prints that we all seem to have stacking up in our studios!
I use a combination of hand-printed collage papers, stencils, and acrylic paints to create this piece! I hope you enjoy the process!
