How did you make this work:
"Hansel and Gretel" was the most impressive story of my early childhood. It includes so many symbols and imagery, but what still attracts me most is the unknown forest and the gazing crows in it. This digital painting was done in Adobe Fresco. I used the logic of silkscreen to adjust the transparency of the different color layers to achieve interesting textures and colors.
