Iam in the process of creating a journal
The face is painted on the front cover of a 78album covered with cards and envelopes
Both sides of the sleeves inside will be covered with
300grm watercolour paper
The background is covered in watered down gesso
which was rubbed over with acrylic umber.
The face is painted with Matte medium, gesso, golden fluid acrylics
heavy golden acrylics and one very, very old used
paint

You.Are.Awesome! I'm so happy to "Find" you again - I just admired a piece of yours that was won in a giveaway (I think it was Lisa) and I am SO in love with the color, movement and sense of freedom your pieces have - it's what I am currently trying to do more of. This piece is just stunning - all your detail and shading is so impressive.
I'm gonna put you on my sidebar so I don't miss out on any more of your beautiful art, xoxo
This is so amazing. I love your skills and am going to shoot your link over to my friend who I know is going to just love your style. Really loving visiting your blog and seeing what you have been up to. Trace xx

Welcome to Paint Party Friday! It's great to have you join us!
This is a fabulous piece - is it a page of the journal or the cover? I love the dancing figure on her forehead - Wow!
Manon, can I ask you a favour please - can you link directly to the page for PPF rather than to your blog home page? For late arrivals (like the very late me) it is confusing as to what you want to share. Thanks! (Your Tuesday piece is wonderful too - great colours!)
