I've been meaning to share this sketchbook page for a while (I finished it in July), but the photos were spread between my old and new laptops and that seemed too great a task to accomplish. But now that I'm actively working on my goals (and keeping track!), I want to blog more regularly. So this page is going up! And really - do I need to share all the steps that happened before? Fun as it is to see the evolution of a page, the finished product is the prize. So here it is:
I absolutely adore how she turned out! The textures are amazing and I just love her face and all the framing flowers! A true summer girl!
Roughly, the layers are as follows (from what I can remember!):

Roughly, the layers are as follows (from what I can remember!):
- gesso
- collage (mixed papers in greens & browns)
- gel medium (with stencils)
- paint (all my usual colours: brights in the background covered by black Plaka and highlighted in her flowers, shirt and brushes here and there)
- pen and white Sharpie doodles to finish her face
- splatter of black India ink to pull it all together and add a bit more texture
