This is the last demo I did for the San Diego workshop. It is acrylic ink on very thin YUPO. I am still not happy with the background. It turns out that alcohol removes acrylic ink very easily, so I will wipe out some stenciled letters, I think, to make the background more interesting. I was experimenting with the surface. Lots to explore here. I am very frustrated that the Slide.com website isn't working properly and I can't get the slide show accomplished. I can't figure out the Blogger version, either. Maybe when I get home I will try again.d
I am on my way home for the next few days. Repacking and leaving for a workshop in Portland the week after next. I had such a good time with everyone in San Diego. A wonderful group of artists and an amazing workshop team. Overall a very impressive group of people.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone in Portland again. I love going around the country making new friends!

I actually like the background....it does compete a bit with your character, maybe a wash over it??
Dear Myrna ---I love the sketch of the figure you just posted. Wonderful gesture and feeling of movement. I look forward to more/.
Cheers, Jean Dana
Hi SOiNTOiT, thanks for the comment. I have already messed up the background but learned some interesting things about alcohol and acrylic ink. The background in this particular image got dirty looking. I am going to remove all the background by rubbing it with alcohol and then repaint it.
Hi Jean, Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to post a comment. I am looking forward to going to more life drawing sessions. Nothing beats drawing from life.
