cardboard portrait {trois}

she would be a bit lost in translation

cardboard portrait {too}

i had so much fun making my first one, i decided to work this into a series. so i made three more portraits. each was a slightly different size and shape with different top paper ripping off to reveal the variegation below.

i used hi-flow acrylics for the eyes; and white pen, charcoal and pencil for some details.

i loved the textured feel of this one and the overall colors.

happy wednesday.

cardboard portrait

in one of my FB group, our challenge this time was to make a portrait on cardboard. i was feeling a little rusty as i have not had much studio time this past month; but, once the gesso was on the paper, the paint flowed and ran, and she appeared.

cardboard, gesso, acrylic paint, pencil, watercolor crayon, hi-flow ink, pen, charcoal

i was very happy with how she turned out. i can only hope my swap partner likes it as much as i do!
