face 28

he rose from the page of a book

ready to live life in the outer world

a bit timid

yet full of curiosity

he was born

I had to give Lynne Hoppe's technique another try

it is fun to blend different materials together

thank you Lynne xo

usually watercolors on untreated paper would make the paper wavy

but putting watercolors straight from the tube on top of oil pastels

or even straight on the paper as in his hair and the page of the book remained nice

love that!

italy:

streets have organic paths

no straight streets and alleyways

Face 28 of 29 Faces

Lady Loves Aqua

i found a pad of hand made paper at a thrift shop

by guess banana paper

the paint made the paper tear....

but i have aqua tape and i began with a patch and was guided to tear bits for added

fun and texture

also used Caran d'A Ache Neopastels

and Neocolor 11 for the first time

Loved them!
