Flower Tatoo

5x7 mixed media on board
collage, acrylic and pastel

To start, this time, I sketched in the image with acrylic paint.

I laid down all the paper I thought I was going to want. The paper pieces here are old wallpaper (used), pages from an old children's book, and old paintings on paper.

I am using pastel and pencil to carve out the image.

This is a small painting - therefore, so is her face. My pastels would have been way to clunky for the feel I was going for, so I used a graphite pencil to draw her face. I did use a just touch of pastel around some of her facial features.
