16 x 20 on board
CSC was my grandmother.
I had a basic idea where the girls were placed. It was going to be a torso and head shot. I wanted to get the board completely covered with paper.
After I finished the collage, I put a couple layers of transparent gesso on it. Most of the paper is wallpaper samples from old sample books I picked up for nothing at a paint and wallpaper supply store. Although I do have to admit I did pick up some paper at Michael's (craft store). I happened to be there and couldn't resist.
Composition sketched in with paint.
First stage of paint - getting the drawing and color scheme established.
