I purposely demoed for the class in my journal so I had 2 pages begun. Now it's holidays I've had time to get back to them and I'm really thrilled with how the first one evolved....Simply started with black gesso, black posca pen and skin toned acrylic paint just to get the basic shapes in. I fancy doing something special in all that black hair.
Once I did that blocking and it dried I realised that there was still quite a bit of pilling from the paper underneath - perhaps I should have done another wet and wipe. Anyway - covered with clear gesso and then proceeded. The rest is in photos only - click on any to see larger.
What a fun lesson! And your image turned out so well. I've had mixed results, but had not tried the heavy gloss medium. Thanks for the link, too. I need some face images.
ReplyDeleteReally glad I did the class samples in my journal. She would never have appeared otherwise. Great to have some different face angles
