The Puzzle Painting!

This project literally came to me in a dream! Originally to looked like bunch of puzzle pieces all connected, sort of looking like a checker board, and they it faded from dark purple to lavender to then light orange to burnt orange. Since then, I have thought of different ways to paint it.

I have thought about like a checker board, alternating purple and orange. I think I am going to stick with the original idea though. I think that will look great

Here is an idea of what it looks like with out the paint on it: 
So far, this has taken me about a half hour to do. I hope to finish drawing the pieces on it  tomorrow and then maybe the next day I will start painting. 

My plan I think is to do a water color for the base, then shade it in with colored pencil, go over it with a white colored pencil to blend, and finally oil crayons. I did that for a project in college and it turned out great! Hopefully that technique will work for this project!

Off I go! Wish me luck! :)
