This painting began with a free flowing pencil design, then was overlaid with stencils. My next step was mixing a violet color and tracing all the lines. Afterwards, I filled in some violet spots as a background to add depth.
With that completed, I painted in yellow with the idea of the painting being "light", red filled in the hearts that seemed to have come from nowhere, and green for any leaf shapes. The orange I used was for more light variety and the blue for sky as well as water areas.
Lastly, I went over the entire design with metallic paints for reflective highlights. This gave the illusion of all the colors vibrating. This painting, believe it or not, contains seven layers. Seven is the universal number that means "completion". Just like God, it is time for me to give this painting a rest.
