A work in Progress

This is a spread that I have just put something down over a long time.

I really don't care to draw over such businesses. I have a hard time seeing my drawn lines. So I drew the face on tissue paper. In doing this I found it was easier to get the face symmetrical by folding the tissue paper over and trace the features from the other side.

Before gluing on the page I brushed water around the image. This made it very easy to tear the excess away. 

After it had dried, I used color pencils on the face and paint on the back ground.

I think she isn't finished yet. But I am thrilled with the beginning.

Thanks for looking!

This spread was inspired by Ivy Newport's lesson from Lifebook 2016 Week 2.

This spread was inspired by Effie Wild's take on Marieke Blokland class. The face is started with a print of a face from the Birth of Venus artwork.

2 of the online classes that I am currently taking are Radiant 2 Art Journals and Lifebook 2016. This page is inspired from a class in each of these classes. I started out the page using the Neocolor 2 water soluble crayons like Tam does in week one of LB2016. When I decided to add the paper napkins I chose to match the colors like in  Marieke Blokland lesson in Radiant 2

Here is my take from Nolwenn Petibois Lesson on Radiant 2 online class. The Peacock Feather napkin just looked like hair to me.
