Evolution of a #wheatpaste portrait: Justine.

I start with an inspiring person and a photo that really draws me in.

 

China Marker of course.  Guidelines in orange.

 

Detail in black.  Highlights in white acrylic.

I encouraged Justine to cut out the portrait when I finished.  She will paste it herself in a few days.  It thrills me to watch people paste their own portraits!
