South African Artist Creates Stunning Mixed Media Artwork

South African artist BelleDonna🦋 (@itsbeautifulmate) has created a stunning mixed media artwork, showcasing a unique layering technique. The artist starts with a printed photograph, adding white acrylic paint and then carefully peeling away sections to reveal the image. A stencil is used to apply gesso, creating texture. Fabric and lace are incorporated, followed by more paint and gold leaf. The final piece is a beautiful, multi-layered creation. "It's all about building texture and depth," says BelleDonna, encouraging viewers to explore their creativity. The full tutorial is available on YouTube.
