A sneek peek of Amilee

She’s my latest painting.  I did her in a style I Have not done before, and it’s by far my favorite method so far… I think I found “my style”.  I have used all my fave methods and combined them into one style … acrylic paint (made translucent like water color), wood burning the outline, adding in paper like always, but the best part is something new I tried…. instead of using acrylic paint on her face, I left it ‘naked’ and only used my wood burner and some pastel chalks to giver her life.  I love the effect.  Acrylic paint is used on her eyes, lips and hair – to make them pop.

I need to finish her shirt, then get her photographed with my good camera – this is just my camera phone (her background is showing blue, but it’s really more green) and she’ll be for sale on Etsy.  I need to go the fabric store for some organza for her shirt, this weekend.
