I was looking up the attire for Renaissance Ladies and was totally inspired to do this journal page. I think I’ll be playing with this for a bit. So much texture and pattern. The face was an experiment in that I painted it with my dauber bottles (you can find the link and my recipe for paint on my Video page). I sketched the face and wanted to work quickly so I picked up the dauber bottles and used them to apply and blend the paint. A face in about 5 minutes! I only used two colors, white and Titan Buff, the shading is where the pencil blended with the paint. I added just a touch of Paynes Gray to give her a true ‘Blue Blood’ look and that was it! It’s always fun to use a different tool to create your art. Even the background and dress were done with the Bingo Daubers.
Do you have your Big Girl Panties on? Try something new today!
This saying is one of my personal mantras, I may use this nearly everyday! Love how you took a very classic style and made it modern!
Thanks Emily, it’s fun to give things a makeover:-)
HA! I love that she is wearing big girl panties. HA. That absolutely made my day. Thank you!
