It was time to tackle/finish a piece that has been sitting on one of my easels since June.
I'm not sure why it had taken me so long to finish it and at this point the reason doesn't matter.
I finished it! That's what matters the most. Right?
This is the background. how it all began.
It's 11x14 in a Strathmore mixed media journal. I prepped the page with one coat of gesso.
Next I randomly collaged on it with all sorts of scrap paper.
Then I made marks with watersoluable pens and ink.
I sketched this drawing using a charcoal pencil on the page.
This is the stage the piece has sat at since June.
I wanted her to stand out from the back ground which prompted me to only using 3 colors of acrylic paint. White, black, and gray. I wanted down the paint in areas I wanted it to be more transparent.
