Various kinds of art paper were used, including corrugated paper, lace paper, watercolor paper, and Egyptian papyrus. The sides are painted red - I like red.
The underpainting was red, with a layer of gold gesso over it. This gives the painting a warm glow and soft sheen in places. The most fun part to do, for me, was the freehand branches which were mostly negatively painted.
