I have always been drawn to this wonderful image by Leonardo da Vinci which is a Study of a Woman's Head.
I wanted to create the look of worn Fresco on wood and finish it off with Decoart Perfect Crackle.
I have used the Secret Book box for this experiment and am so happy the way it's turned out, although some of it was a very happy mistake… These are always the best techniques!!!
