I was going to wait until this one was done to post
a step-by-step, but knowing my procrastination skills ...
I decided to post what I have as of today.
In the giant canvas class, I demo on a 30 x 40' canvas
like the artists are also using. I wanted to show a quick way
of covering a big canvas to start.
Using a credit card & acrylics, I filled most of the canvas
quickly. Assuring them don't worry, we can fix anything.
They started and I encouraged.
When the class was working well, I went back to my canvas.
In my effort to show them to "go for it",
I unintentionally made quite a mess.
So it seemed a perfect opportunity to show how we can fix it.
Doesn't she look like she's thinking, "what's on your head?"
The class got busier, and I left it like that for quite a while.
I studied it & later used gesso on the black body as well.
It wasn't until the end of class when I used up some leftover
paint to work on the older sister, or mother, or grandmother?
I feel it is 90+% done. I am happy with the faces & colors.
I could rework her a little, but probably won't.
And I really like older Sister, Mother or Grandmother.
The faces don't match in technique but that doesn't seem
to bother me. Maybe generational thing?
I'd like to have a canvas of just this ... OS, M or G?
and because I always seem to want to try another ...
so a digitized version of OS, M or G?
Thanks so much for stopping by and I especially
want to thank you for taking time to comment,
I really love to get feedback.
