Beverly ~ a mixed media figure

Beverly ~ a mixed media figure 22x15 charcoal drawn figure on 140 lb hot press Fabriano paper with gouache paint and Caran D'Ache crayon accents. Paper was prepared by adhering old phone book pages with half matte medium and half water then pulling off leaving parts of the Fabriano visible. This woman was at a neighborhood hat party years ago and had her eyes closed while talking. Background elements are imaginary abstractions. This one was in one of the watercolor societies annual shows. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith
