The Making of Reno


ATTN:  If you are not reading this with a green background, you need to click on "the Making of Reno."

This weekend I am taking a class about using Yupo paper in Dalton, GA which is about an hour from Cleveland.  I am afraid that I may be out of my league: unfortunately, that won't be anything new!

Speaking of new...here is what I am presently working on. Of course, I failed to take pics at every step. However, I remembered to get a few.


Background with various yellows plus stenciling



Two more stencils were used

Glazing was added

More glazing

 One preliminary drawing.  Everything is much easier when I use a pencil and ERASER! When you see the painting, you will realize that I didn't actually follow this picture--I may regret that.






Right now it looks as if she has a huge lump on her right temple and she is wearing a hat with a string hanging down. I hope it doesn't look like that in a few days!

If you have suggestions, let me know. I can use the help!

  1. Loving the head series. The newest one looks like she's going to be a ginger. Good choice :)

  2. I like this face better than the pencil one. She looks WWII era right now. I don't think that there is a lump - just her hair. Keep going!
