Summer Creative Workshop: Paper Portrait

The fourth project I completed during Summer Creative Retreat was this Paper Portrait. 

This class was taught by the fabulous Claudette Hasenjager, a mixed media artist in South Africa. I loved watching her demonstrate her process of creating expressive portraits from paper. Her style is so unique and I was so excited to jump in and make my own. 

This is the portrait Claudette made during the workshop:

It is so much fun to create something that is so unlike my usual style. And, obviously, I love working with paper. It's my favorite medium, by far. I really should do more collage. Fortunately, the next workshop I'm doing is another paper college, though a completely different topic and style. I'll show you on Monday.
