thank you all for the compliments.
The procedure - well, i have no special procedure, it's more of a trial/error kinda thing. I don't even have artist quality paints, just normal pebeo student qual. ones.
i just painted the background first. i've read that for acrylics to be opaque white has to be added, so I painted the background with ochre+white, let it dry, did a very light sketch in pencil and then painted the rest of the picture.
when I get to do the decoupage i'll post it as well and write a bit about it, but i just didn't get to go to the shop as yet.
Here's where I got inspiration from:
