After being in a "Creative Funk" for a few weeks now I thought I would give the intuitive painting another shot to see if it would wake me up.
I open three cheep canvas boards...don't want to waste anything good in case it didn't work :0)
I starting layering paint and inks and then sat back and waited.... and waited... and waited.
Ahhhh! Finally I started seeing shapes so I outlined them with a pastel pencil.
I decided to work on the first one where I saw a prominent face.
Once I had the face painted in I started seeing the neck and shoulders and the hair.
Here's the final product..which makes me wish I had use a decent canvas..oh well at least I finished a painting . Finally!!

Beautiful piece! Good to see you around again! Valerie
ReplyDeletethis is great Carol! And really: when you do this regularly you will see shapes much more easily. Looking forward to where you'll be going with the other two ♥
ReplyDeleteWonderful portrait. Intuitive painting is really not so easy - but keep trying, it is a wonderful process. Try adding some really dark darks and some really light lights to your backgrounds. That seems to help to give them the pop they need. Great starts. Keep going! Happy PPF
ReplyDeleteVery nice Carol. Your soul went into the canvas, bravo!
