This piece was a mistake. We were supposed to paint on acrylic paper and then use various tools to create texture. Unfortunately, I didn't know that I had dropped a piece of paper on it before it dried. When I pulled the paper off, I found a really neat background that had some features such as you would find on marbelized backgrounds. I have found more things that made great techniques by accident. Oh, I never throw anything out. I always keep stuff as I find that I can always find a use for them.
