When doing research for the last post, I came across an artist named Brooks Salzwedel who creates really interesting nature scenes with translucent paper. She inspired me to draw a foggy forest scene, and I wanted to make it eerie so I decided to overlay it with a face. Most of this project was experimentation, and I used a lot of different mediums (watered down paint, markers, charcoal, graphite) to achieve the effect I was looking for. Since there are so many layers and the tracing paper blurred each layer underneath, it was a challenge to create part of the scene, and then continuously check to make sure each layer was lined up correctly. Most of my process would be making a mark on a layer, combining the layers, stepping back to see what it looked like, and then continuing to alter the overall appearance until I was satisfied with the result. My goal was to have the foreground on the top paper layer, midground on the second, and so on, but towards the end I was working mainly on the top layer regardless. Next time I work with transparent layers, I would like to do something colorful and abstract.
