A re-post of blog  Day #264, April 17, 2013
2,116 days ago and a step-by-step. 


















             Using a 18x24" digital ...
for the background

and papers I started ...
drawing Sara with white
on the darker background.


















Initially using just papers and gel medium ...
at one point I thought she might be a blonde? 






But, she seemed to want red.
I layered in the shadows and simple areas.







Using sewing patterns and white tissue for skin tone.
I decided to keep the original upper background.







At this point, I started adding some acrylic
to the face to accentuate smaller details,

but sparingly, so the collage shows through.
I'm thinking 95% paper, 5% acrylic.







This was a one day effort, some days are productive,
as Sara seemed to cooperate and 
tell me what she needed.
