Helen

Finished 27.10.10. This wasn’t meant to look like Helen (the old Helen with longer purple hair) but kind of does J

Unsure if I like the tattoo art. I was going for a different spin on the gypsy head. With more attention to detail on the shading then maybe this would be more successful. However, good experiment with material. The support is PVA glue layered to make a skin effect with acrylic design.

Not entirely sure if I like this piece. It was very hard to paint on the PVA. I had to do a lot of coats to keep the paint from showing up any brush strokes. I do like the effect with the PVA glue though. It crinkled when it dried so looks like sagging skin J ....beautiful.
