Hi guys as promised here is my Native American Lady in progress. First of all I cut my sketch out and stuck it onto my canvas. Then glued some tissue paper around her. I cut her top out of the sketch as I thought it would look better painted on a canvas as it would be made out of canvas.
Then I painted her face and background, over the glued tissue paper in acrylic. I want to add lots more detail to this and give her some beads around her neck and perhaps something to the background not sure yet. I also feel that by painting over the sketch I lost some softness to her look so I'm going to try adding some shade and light to her face and hopefully soften her up a bit......I'm hoping to finish it tomorrow!

This is great Nic. Love the colour of her skin - can't wait to see what you do with the beads and the background. xxx
The sketch is lovely Nicola! I love how she's glancing to the side. And I love what you're doing with it, the colours are so vibrant and beautiful! :-)
So creative! I love the mix of mediums. Her eyes are great too. I can't wait to see the finished picture.
it looks like it's coming along very well, and thanks for letting us know the process, I'm always interest in process and how a work became a certain way, not everyone has the same method so it's nice to know, thanks
Wow Nicola you are really rockin' girl! She is coming along beautifully - I love your mixed media and the details in her beads, wonderful job! Thanks for your advice re: blogger. I put a message in the forums, but no one has responded yet. I'm hoping like you said it'll just go away - but for now trying Internet Explorer instead of Chrome seems to help. Ironic isn't it, you'd think Google's own browser would work better!
