Pigs Collage demo "Hamming it Up!"

Final work done this afternoon in about an hour, adding dollar store gift wrap roses, pearls, and lace to the foreground and to their bodies at random.  I like the pearls before swine idea.  I used Derwent Matisse Background in pale beige (a misnomer because it is pale yellow) gesso to smooth that area then brushed some in front.  Oil pastel accents were added as well in this mixed watermedia piece.
