In my previous art journal post I shared the transformation of an image transfer to a finished face in my journal. Read about the initial transfer process there.
I'm now ready to share the journey of the second face. Click on any photo to see it larger
Gesso through stencils above - glazes added below and pulled into the face for initial shading
Always amazed how much the face comes to life just with the addition of black and white pens - that's all I've changed for the next stage!

My favourite word and the butterfly is one of my recurring symbols of transformation, change, transition, joy and beauty
