My painting began by applying molding paste to the canvas and pressing a piece of plastic circle screen, gate screen and a rubber flower shape to achieve different textures. After it dried, I painted black acrylic paint and added splatters of several other colors of paint. Finally, I added glass beads for a final tactile element.
