Image transfer with surface embellishment with acrylic paints, mixed collage and stamping, antique copper verdisgris effects create this dramatic pop portrait painting of a young girl in theatrical cotume.

We had fun with this photo shoot and I look forward to doing larger pieces in this technique. Mixing image transfer with figurative painting is a natural marriage between photography and painting made in heaven and the verdigris technique is just so tasty and inviting!
