Renaissance Woman Postcard #16
I find it interesting that the CitraSolv papers provide exciting night and/or stormy skies. Perhaps #13 above should have been set in a location where the aurora borealis exists. Parts of the sky look like there might be lightning and also reflection from the lights of the city. The light is more a modern night light than what would have been in Renaissance times. #14 has what might be a moon. I could get lost in my thinking of what might be. I use to do that looking at clouds when I was a kid.
Really great work! Was this series done with the two layers of gel gloss on each side of the pictures, then ironed onto watercolor paper? I am in Randall's current class and that is our project this week. I have never used that technique but am fascinated!
September 21 through 26 entries on my blog is the method you mentioned. I used matte medium to glue the Renaissance ladies down and then a coat of tar gel over each one for the postcards. The sky is all CitraSolv papers which you will do in Randel's class. Have fun! I loved it!
I love these. The series is just getting better and better - which just goes to show that the advice to work in a series, developing and amending, is very sound. Must do better... (as my school reports used to say).
