Stephanie makes an excellent point with this class: how are you supposed to develop your own personal style if you don't know what the options are? 

I enjoyed spending several hours exploring new techniques, brushes, and styles for this project. I also added a few different styles that I wanted to take the opportunity to play around with. 

It's hard to pick my favorite because I love elements of all of them: I loved playng with the "multiply" feature of the collage, the way the oil and pastel brushes interact with color, and the different textures. 

Now, it's time to rest! My hand hurts. 😅

I'll be posting more of my illustration journey over at https://gabriellaetc.substack.com/!
