Jane Davenport Head Turn Looking Down gives you a clear starting point for an expressive portrait without drawing the main facial proportions from scratch. The closed gaze and gently turned head create a calm, introspective feeling that works beautifully in personal and story-led artwork.
Apply the design with ink or acrylic paint and keep it clean and graphic, or use it as a guide for shading, colouring and freehand details. Add collage to the hair, build the background with stamps and handwriting, or introduce texture paste for a more layered mixed-media finish.
The 6" x 6" format allows the portrait to become the main focus without filling the entire page. This leaves room for journaling, titles, floral details, abstract marks and smaller embellishments around the face.
The stencil is reusable and can be interpreted again and again with different palettes and techniques, creating a completely different mood each time.
