We learnt in our studio lesson about ageing techniques, we used mainly liquid latex and old age stipple but also tried incorporating some of the things we had learnt from Kate Benton. I decided I wanted to use the latex on the lips because I thought Miss Havisham would have dry peeling lips because she didn't care about them and the cold of the house would have taken their toll on them too.
I tried layering the liquid latex on the lips and then teasing/pulling it a bit with my finger and a cotton bud, I then added slight colour to some areas to show the contrast between the lip and the peeling skin, lastly I dabbed on some loose powder to add to the dryness. Even though I plan on having an older model it was still interesting to learn how to age because it will still be very useful for my look, just in moderation.
