Description
Thank you to my friend, the beautiful `larafairie for allowing me to use her photo for this piece.
Since in just 2 hours it will be Mardi Gras, I wanted to post something in celebration of my heritage and my heart. Fortune tellers and oracles line the streets of New Orleans during the celebration of Mardi Gras, and Lara's eyes are such that she seems to look right into your soul. (and YES her face is supposed to look a bit dirty. Oracles in alleys are a bit scuffed up.
)
That being said, let me know if this looks a little dark. My monitor is acting up and I don't want you to miss the details. FULL VIEW PLEASE!!
Windsor and Newton Chalk Pastels
Raw Charcoal Stick
Prisma Colour Pencils for details and highlights
Smudge sticks
Tissue
Border added in photoshop
THICK Vellum Paper 10x10 inches
Again, my thanks to Lara
