How to paint tutorial

There is no right way or wrong way.  This is just how I did this painting. 

1.  This first shot is after I had base coated the canvas with black gesso, drawn the image on and started painting the background color.

2.  In this picture I have filled in most areas with color.

 
3.  Adding shadows and highlights.

4.  Continue to add detail.

5.  At this point, I collaged on polka-dots, added colored pencil and also watercolor crayons.

The finished painting with some antique glaze and some rubber stamping.
