I have continued working with magazine and newspaper as well as some lovely commercial paper I found. In addition I have made more papers using tissue paper as the base which I often stamp or stencil. I like to use the tissue because of the ability to keep it transparent. All 3 types of papers have been used in the following painting.

As with the other paintings of people I have done using this technigue - some parts came easily - other parts of the painting were really challenging to do. My next step I think is to abstract people and animals like I do with still life paintings which might be fun.
