Artist Statement (what Cooper16696 said about their artwork)
I made this artwork because we are learning about the Middle Ages, this is a byzantine inspired mosaic.
First, I drew a basic outline of my subject with pencil, next using a finger-painting technique, I painted the background, and face, then I used a tiny brush with dark paint to dot the outline of the pencil marks and add detail, lastly, I added thin layers of glitter paint to highlight some areas.
I learned about the Middle Ages. And about finger painting technique
