Along the way in sticking to this general idea for a series, I am learning lots of little helpful techniques and adding to my art knowledge bits and pieces at a time. I love that I make these small discoveries. Everyday there is something new which keeps life fresh and exciting. I can't imagine doing the exact same, safe thing over and over. I am fortunate that I don't have to in order to survive. If you have a choice, I hope you don't settle for "safe".
look forward to each step in your artistic explorations. I am interested in the montage of self portraits; it got me thinking about doing something similar, but with small drawings of family members in the background.
ReplyDeleteI really can relate to your excitement, I feel the same way about my photography and photo montage work. Here, too, there is a new technique or idea I try to work on -- life is "fresh and exciting" because of this passion. And I hope my work conveys this to my friends and family.
ReplyDeleteI am SOOOO inspired by you and really look forward to all your posts! You rock!!

Sage advice!! Probably the best advice anyone could give. I like this next step very much.
ReplyDeleteI think your piece is finished already! Put down the brushes!!! Am I too late?
ReplyDeleteStart the same painting but leave this drawing as is!
Love it!
I can't wait to see the results of this painting. It's so interesting.
ReplyDeleteTragic. I love it. That describes my studio. I paint in encaustics and I am finding some of your ideas useful. Thanks:) My techniques will be different, of course. But since everything I do is in layers, it transfers. I often make my background, then draw in - as you do.
