Collage face

At the left is the combination of picture making techniques. The image was initially sketched on the cardstock. I knew that I wanted to do a face of a pretty girl. I also wanted it to be a combination of manual and mechanical methods. The sales supplements of the newspaper provide the color for the piece and these small pieces of paper are glued to the sketch. Special attention is paid to color and value. More emphasis is on value than color. A magazine illustration is scanned in and cropped, converted to black and white, and cleaned up. It is then printed with an inkjet printer over the collaged paper. I'll post the video of the process next.
