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.
