Expanding your Work: Adding New Elements

For me, art is where exploration meets expression. I am always exploring new elements to add to my current work so I can see how to expand it further. This painting, Alight, was a commission and this video will take you through the commission process as well as the process of trying new things and adjusting them to work with your current process and style.
