Absent

By Leslie Wiegand
My concept here was to show the tree is absent from the paper, meaning we use paper and wood willy-nilly and forget where it comes from. I applied the wallpaper, drew the tree, cut it out and peeled the paper back before it got too dried on. For the cameo I let the paper dry completely, cut and peeled off only the top layer then painted and drew the face, gold trim was last.
