Research into Warts

I want to add a witch aspect to my Miss Havisham portrayal and to do that, I thought it would be interesting to add a wart to the end of her nose. When I think of a witch, I automatically think of a green, old lady with a wart on her nose. I think this because of the films with witches in that I watched in my childhood. I want to include a wart in my Miss Havisham portrayal because I want the audience of the film to be able to instantly recognise the witch reference, without making her green! Below I have made a collage of some of the witches I found online of witches and they all have warts.

Nose Warts

I found the most common places to get warts are the soles of the feet, chin and hands; however I found that Seborrhoeic warts grow on the face and can grow on the nose. 

'Seborrhoeic warts are also known as seborrhoeic keratoses. In the past they were also called senile warts. They usually look like greasy or crusty spots which seem to be stuck on to the skin. The colour varies but usually they are darkish brown or black.

They are usually round although they can also be oval in shape. Some seborrhoeic warts have an irregular shape. Their size can vary from around one centimetre to several centimetres in diameter.' - http://www.patient.co.uk/health/seborrhoeic-warts.

When creating my wart, I will be referring back to the image above of the wart on the nose. It looks like it is raised only slightly, but it looks very rough and uneven. It is red around the outside and then a darker red/brown where it starts to lift. The wart itself look a light yellow/brown colour. I will be using my supra colour palette for this and then powdering it afterwards, as it doesn't look very shiny. I am not sure what products I will use to create this wart; I will just have to experiment and see what works best!
