Today’s offering is a combination of paper’s ready for the garbage bin. The background is torn paper glued together in no particular order. The woman is cut out from a catalog magazine. Once she was glued to the background, I painted her with several layers white gouache. When the paint was dry, I used Derwent watercolor pencil to redraw the woman and her outfit. All in all, a very fun art project.

Great freedom and sweeping movement here, Sharon — makes me want to walk beside her and resume the conversation. Always a joy to be here —

Wow Sharon, you have created so much character here, the background mimics a busy sidewalk perhaps in an urban setting and woman intent to get her shopping done, your process is so creative! Love it!

Like “The Painted Apron” said – your process is so creative. If I weren’t so focused on what I am doing right now, I’d be tempted. You should give a class on recycling to make a picture – I’ll sign up right away!

Hi Sharon, I like how you painted over her with white gouache and then reinvented her! How cool is that!! 😃 She looks like she is out for a walk on a blustery day… we are having one here. 🌿🍂

Gouache seems hard to get now. Everything is acrylics but I miss that chalky finish. Love the layering here. I am still struggling to decide how to start illustrations for my books. I like the mix materials though as very tactile.

The hardest part is getting down to doing it. That white paper is scary. I will put online one illustration I did…photo work and drawing.
