Self-portrait mixed media on 140lb Arches watercolor paper. Image transfer, collage overlay, photograph, photocopy, sketched with cover girl base make-up, chocolate Hershey's kiss (used as a crayon), watercolor, Dr. Pepper soda (as a wash), and coffee. This began as a demonstration piece for the high school class and continued over two years. Viewing work by Frida Kahlo, Bearden, Dali, and many others. I put my own daily life experience into this piece. Self-teacher-artist-learner in front of a class-smack in the middle.
