Progress making of Bridesmaid Abbie
In a few steps i will show you the making of the mosaic Bridesmaid Abbie. In reality more steps were needed. But these photo’s will give you a good impression of the progress on this work.
First i make a study of the portrait by making a drawing and an andamento plan.
The choosen colors for this portrait.
A nice start with the eyes !
The face is growing slowely but surely.
A child’s portrait is one of the hardest things to express in any artform. It is still very soft, without wrinkles or hard lines.
Almost done and ready for the next step :
To glue it to it’s permanent medium. On this medium i will work directly on the hair. And of course with gold mosaic to create special effects !
And here she is ! The only thing left to do is making a nice background !
For the background i used a beautiful blue by Spectrum Glass.
