Sertoma Mixed Media (October, November, December 2015)

Plexiglas, Daniel Smith transparent watercolor ground and watercolor on one side, Liquitex clear gesso and colored pencil on the other side. I worked more on the skin.  Need to begin the hair...

Yupo (translucent), blue alcohol ink, Liquitex clear gesso, colored pencil.  This is at the start, need to work on the values and the details.

Yupo (translucent), alcohol inks, Liquitex clear gesso.

Yupo (translucent), alcohol inks

Yupo (white) with a watercolor wax paper texture. Liquitex clear gesso applied very gently (the watercolor smeared a little bit).  Now I can work with colored pencil on top or paint on top and the underneath will stay as it is.

Yupo (white) with a watercolor wax paper texture. Sprayed this with Krylon Workable Fixative (can use any brand).  Applied Liquitex clear gesso not gently and only a tiny bit of the color seemed to move.  Now I can work with colored pencil on top or paint on top and the underneath will stay as it is.

Yupo (white) with a watercolor wax paper texture. Sprayed this with Krylon Matte Finish (would not use this to spray a finished piece, it sometimes clouds up...).  Applied Liquitex clear gesso not gently and no color seemed to move.  Now I can work with colored pencil on top or paint on top and the underneath will stay as it is.
