Art Book: First Layer of Paint

When applying the first layer of paint, my idea was to mostly obscure the underlying collage.  In addition I wanted to create colors of nature for the front and back covers:  a blue sky, tree line, and golden grasses in the foreground.  All of this would come to fruition with the second paint layer, so this first one was meant to provide a good base for that.

The interior will probably feature something floral.  So, I kept it fairly simple with yellow-green through blue-green.

I’m really liking the results, thus far, and having lots of fun with the process!

Now, I need to go buy some white paint, so I can produce a proper sky color.
