Layering and Texture with Masking Tape


Two more favorite spreads. This time I used colored masking tape for texture and layering over gesso and both Caran d' Ache and Acrylic's. Lot's of 3 stage sanding in between.


I made a frame between masking tape and layers of paint and gesso and sanded out the hollow part for a image area for Nicci. She and I had been talking about seeing a lot of "Fat Bottom Girls" around the world of illustration - but not a lot of big girls with a focus on the belly... so I have made (and will make a few more) an attempt to embellish on that thought. A celebration of all body types. Small, medium, large and extra large.
