With your collection of decorative paper, and you do not want to focus on the photo, create a collage background. You may want to tear or layer these elements, put them on the canvas, instead of using the binder first to achieve the vision you want, and then stick to their canvas using gel media. A thin layer of layer will be very good as a glue.
Add texture blocks, such as embossing or fabric, in order to increase the additional interest. Brush with a thin layer of gel media, adhere to the canvas.
Step back and look at the background you're creating. If you feel it is necessary to add more color or texture, layer attached files or create an appropriate background trim. You may also want to gently brush on an acrylic glazing, in order to unify a piece of.
Select one or three photos as the central focus element (s) displayed in the center of the canvas. This will bring a sense of order, once attached to this piece of work in the background. Adhere to these photos using a layer of gel media.
