A little play with mixed media - photo transfer, watercolor, color pencil and a touch of pastel. I also tried a bit of narrative art as part earlier renditions, but found the results to be too Kitsch. As is, this seems a bit illustrative. Still, it was a good process of exploration, which will lead to other creations.
As for the photo transfer process, having read several blogs on the topic, I started with an ink-jet print of a personal image, testing a variety of photo papers, gel mediums, and transfer techniques. In the end, a simple ink-jet print on 20 lb. bond, using water as the transfer medium, provided the soft, misty image that I sought.
