Very inspirational video. Thanks!

[@ArtworkByMelissaReed]

Glad you enjoyed it!☺️☺️

Fun piece! I have found that by adhering a piece of foam core to the back of the mounted canvas, it makes the surface easier to work on. It’s an inexpensive fix if you have a lot of mounted canvas rather than the preferred wood cradle board. 😊

Hi! That is a great idea! I hadn’t thought of that, but I will definitely be trying it in the future! Thank you so much!☺️

[@Forest7025]

I absolutely love this! I look forward to your videos each week. They are so informative and uniquely creative. ❤

[@ArtworkByMelissaReed]

Yay! Thank you!☺️

[@beccogiallo]

Very nice piece, thank you for sharing the process.

Very nteresting. By the way, Room 222 was a TV show way back in the early 70s.

Love this picture, and the shadowy figures!

[@ArtworkByMelissaReed]

Thank you so much! I appreciate that!☺️

[@user-ol2bp3ns5c]

just so cool! Thank you for showing me how I can go outside the box also. Didn't know about muting color with a little matte medium Very nice.

[@ArtworkByMelissaReed]

You are so welcome!🤗

How do you hang the panels? Are those the flat canvas panels or different ones? Thank you

[@ArtworkByMelissaReed]

Hi! These ones are actually stretched canvas, so I’ll wire them as I would any canvas. If you saw my bird collage videos, those are on wooden panels, but they are cradled, so they are shaped just like a stretched canvas in the back. I worked them in the same way! ☺️

Why did you use a China marker? Why not use the stabilo?

[@ArtworkByMelissaReed]

It’s just what I happened to have.

The “hat” on the left figure is a little KKK…

[@ArtworkByMelissaReed]

Oh! Well, that was definitely not the intention! 😃
