English Woman

9x7 mixed media collage onto Canson watercolor paper done today as a demo for some of the Watercolor Horizons group in Odessa visiting Big Spring. Using black India ink, I sketched features using a wooden chopstick on an old dictionary and novel page; these had been done earlier with matte medium.  When dry the paper was spritzed with fine mister.  A paper napkin was separated and the yellow butterfly and flower were applied with matte medium.  Lastly watercolor washes of Taylor's Flamingo Pink, Blue Bice, and Skip's Green (American Journey) were applied at random.
