My work is on a 12x24 in. stretched canvas. The image at the top is a photocopy of a drawing that includes fish skeletons and swimming fish inspired by several works from the museum visit. At the museum, I found myself drawn to the fish artifacts from the Egyptian exhibit. I also found a blown glass vase in another area and sketched the fish fossils from it. My work also includes tiger lilies and rock formations from the still life. The second image is a photo of the photocopy being transferred using clear caulk onto my canvas. This will need to dry for several hours and after that I will begin using acrylic paint and maybe some oil pastel. I'll take some more pictures tomorrow.

Ashley-you have a delightful composition and process. I look forward to a further explanation and the finished piece for the reasons of: for media, composition, and personal expression.
The use of both acrylic and oil pastel is a combination that is original to me.
I am very interested in your process using the clear caulk. The format of the composition in the long rectangle will be very dynamic. I will be excited to see the finished product.
Ashley,
I am also interested in learning how to transfer using caulk. I also like how you divided your work into three. I am looking forward to seeing it.
I can't wait to see this finished and hear step by step instructions on how it was done.
