My Process For Painting A Magazine Cover.

This is a painting for one half of the cover of a literary magazine called "The Normal School". The magazine will be published this fall. I documented my process for the other half of the painting from start to finish below, the theme was "show and tell". I hope you enjoy, and thank you for looking.
