Occidental Orient

So after I finished some sumi-e, having ink that I'd ground left over I sketched out a pose that my friend whom I've never met, Claudia, a model in NYC (& a real sweetie, if I was only 40 years younger and she was 3265 miles closer! :-) ) had done. Sketching with the sumi on 'rice' paper. Subsequently I laid in some washes using Yarka pan colors. Then after mounting I subsequently subsequently pushed the colors and saturation using iphoto's editor and then in pixelmator (Not using Photoshop, -hence soda popped rather than photoshopped) just to see.

Hey, it's fun!

& there's at least 4 word plays in the title....
