After more than one photo shooting attempting, many de-cat hair dustings, and using nearly every light stand I have…the final is here!
It is all paper and a lot of careful gluing, with acrylic on the board and mica pigments (“glitter”) on the black wall. Some gouache was used on the guys skin because I don’t have the right paper color, so I made my own. The floor has curled paper swirls holding up frosted mylar that I coated with matte medium to take the transparency down. Evidently, glue works even better because you can tell where the papers meet.
The only process shots I have. I kept with the pink swirl, but as the piece developed the yellow wasn’t working. Her vest also met a green marker for the same reason. Luckily, all this made for minimal digital work.

Shannon this is beautiful! Was this project just for fun? I’m sure you will get lots of work from it!

Thanks! It was just a spontaneous thing…I had the skirt glued to a sketch in my sketchbook then decided why not make a piece out of it. So I had to remake the skirt but it worked out.
