Spooky Man in Progress

I am not sure where the idea for this painting has come from, but here is today's work so far...

My process is starting to develop which includes the following steps: 1) On canvas, begin by adhering strips of regular paper using acrylic medium or Modge Podge. I guess it isn't critical to use canvas. One could use board. 2) Paint with a base color. Usually something very saturated and dark (burnt sienna in this painting) and let dry 3) Add a crackle medium on top. Let dry 4) Add a pattern transfer to selected areas (under the yellow on the ground in this painting) 5) Add second color over crackle medium (yellow in this painting). 6) Add subject matter (man and flowers). 7) Add third color (white) with a dry brush to pick up the texture 8) Add details (stars).
