| June 2011 - 8 x 8 canvas |
I started this little canvas about 2 months ago and didn't get time to touch it again until this last weekend. I really had a nice weekend and enjoyed the relaxation of no tv, no computer, just hours and hours of painting in a couple of sessions. I was inspired by a painting I watched artist
Sharon Tomlinson paint. She does such a good job with faces and mine sure need some work. I followed her method of applying text from a book as a base, then gluing down pics of flowers from gardening catalogs to surround the central area. Then I sketched in the woman shown. Everything, including the flowers are painted over with acrylic paints. Not too sure my flowers look like they did originally, but having a picture to start with gives you a range of colors and some placement. If you get time, go watch some of Sharon's YouTube videos on "Morning Art". She has a gentle voice and does a great job of showing her process step by step.
