one young lady on a magazine
About the process:
a layer of golden acrylic on top of a water/acrylic ochre wash makes the background - it is not very easy to make the pastels stick onto the gold, especially the white pastel! I use a spray (ordinary hair-spray) for the pastel to stay on. With every spray a transparent layer is building up. I don't know how durable this process is. I am working in a sketchbook. I have no idea, what would be the right thing to use "for sale" peaces.
I have to add, I am not a professional artist. I never learned how to finish a work properly. This is the next thing for me to learn!
Your faces are wonderfull.
ReplyDeleteI love the headphone, the girl is cute and this one reminds me of Da Vinci Hermeline lady. Enjoy creating your other faces.

ReplyDeleteLiebe Ilona,
ReplyDeletedanke schön, für Deinen Besuch und Deinen lieben Kommentar :)
Das Gesicht wird nicht gebrannt, es ist ein Material, das sich paper clay nennt, und das mir bis vor kurzem auch fremd war. Es ist eine Art Papiermasse, die an der Luft trocknet und sehr hart wird, die man bearbeiten kann, wie Holz.
Dein 4. Gesicht, finde ich seeeehr schön. Ich liebe Bilder mit Gold! Und finde diese Komposition sehr stimmig und das Gesicht ist sehr fein gemalt.
Liebe Grüße und :)
Erika
