This background has lots of layers. It started out as black gesso with some red gold foil paper from a candy wrapper in the cruciform design. It was too stark and not plausible to put an ink drawing on, so I layered a tissue with some red over it. Still not right so I layered a yellow orange tissue with some metallic gold specs. Finally, something I could work with. After I did the ink drawing, I added light gold highlights and then some more ink on top of that. I think it all comes together with the background working well with the drawing.
