Girl in a Shift Dress



Week 8 of The Documented Life project. The theme was repeated elements and I used one of my #28 patterns. After a layer of clear gesso I created this portrait using acrylics, Faber Castell Big Brush pens and water colour pencils.


I am going to share my project over at Paint Party Friday.
