Portrait

Pensive, 2014

Watercolor, Farber-Castell pen, tissue, matte medium, Prismacolor colored pencil on Strathmore watercolor paper,
9" x 11"

The background is colored tissue paper adhered with matte medium on a watercolor.  I put it together a while ago and tucked it into the back of my journal.  The portrait is from a photo I took of a woman at an outdoor restaurant.   I felt that her scarf and glasses evoked a kind of feel that would work with the flowered background.
