Some words on the current piece

My current piece is (so far) a painting of the collar that my dog, Bella, used to wear. I am now trying to work into it with some oil pastels, working back and rubbing, and the application of tissue paper. This technique is called palimpsest, and it the idea of layering through art. One of the artists I explored for my essay, Nicholas Hutcheson, is one artist who employs the use of palimpsest to build his artworks.

I really wish I could elaborate but my maths assignment is stressing me out and I should make headway on that before I asphyxiate myself with anxiety.
