Step by Step Competition

Geisha, Portrait in the Red Colors
Step by Step Competition, Apr.-June 2023

10.jpg

Painting the white face of a Geisha surrounded by bright red shades is one of the most exciting tasks! After all, we must use the white texture of paper instead of white paint. In this complex project, we will apply various techniques, from wet-on-wet in the first layer to detailed finishing at the very end with a thin liner. Welcome to Japan!

I am proud to present our jury:
