22x15 Fabriano 140 lb hot press paper, charcoal drawing of a mannequin profile, then watercolor, gouache, and gift wrap paper from Dollar General used as collage in parts on her blouse. I had painted this figure before only reverse profile using transparent watercolor.  The hot press paper was treated first using a technique I described in this blog post where you lay phone book pages down then peel them off, hence the title.

8x5 mixed media on sketchbook paper done today from a Tombow brush pen sketch outline last week.  The paper was not slick therefore the black ink did not spread much when water added, so I applied watercolor to the figure then Montana acrylic marker to the background.Image COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2017.
