Adding a Stencil background

Here is  "KITE" Stencil from JudiKins that I am using to add some color to this piece.

Of course I needed more color on the girl now that I added the background.

So I bumped up the mousey brown hair and gave her a skintone......she stands out more now!

Pens on a bluish background

Started this today in a variety of pens.......must put in a subtle background.

Just the beginning.....

Same Girl Same Journal

So TOMORROW December 4th is Visual Journaling at Spokane Art and I have a fun little project for you to do in a variety of mediums so bring along your journal a one inch paint brush and scissors!!!!!!!

 I should explain this journal.....It started as just a journal full of backgrounds in watercolor then I drew a face into one of the backgrounds and from there I just kept copying the face then doing it in different colors. over the next month I am trying to put in a face everyday.

Same girl same journal
