The Baker's Daughter

The Baker's Daughter

Done on red rosin paper, gessoed with string and cheese cloth added for texture. A palette of lavender, French blue and light pink craft acrylics with accents of Golden Quinacridone Crimson and Iridescent Gold Deep (Fine).

The image is Raphael's "La Fornarina", xeroxed in several sizes and coloured with Portfolio Water Soluble Oil Pastels. Squares of metallic gold paper, wooden crosses (covered in the Golden Iridescent Gold) and a rubber stamp of script (Hampton Art Stamps) complete the work.

Techniques learned from numerous workshops with the master Lynne Perrella. I'm pleased with this piece - it turned out exactly as I had envisioned it - which as we all know is not always what happens. One more piece ready for Open Studios!
