Front Cover of Gut Art Book
I really really did not want to see a profile. If you have followed Mystele's art recently you will know that I was "pulling" this face from the background.
But there it was, I kept looking last night but could see nothing but this profile. So I sketched her and put her to bed. Then this morning, she came to life.
After she was finished, I reflected on her whimsy and yes, she is a wide eyed, pink haired old lady whose had a nose job, running. She is running as fast as she can to get there.

I only painted what I saw. I think..........

I only painted what I saw. I think..........she is looking back and has removed her mask.
What a journey this will be.
Thank you Mystele for making me do this your way.
Expecting passion,
Sharon

Well, now I'm so fascinated by this, I'm going to have to look into Mystele's class, I so admire your motivation to push forward, to grow, to learn something new (even though your own personal style is perfect)This painting is so compelling, Sharon, and reading of her epiphany is equally so!
ReplyDeleteThis is quite amazing...I want to reach out and touch it...the textures and colors are out of this world!
ReplyDeletereally neat! I knew I shoul've forked it out for her class... I love them both!
ReplyDeleteI love what you are doing here!Love the bright colors...you are ahmaazing!
ReplyDeleteOoooh I just saw these. Missed them somehow. They are great! Love the vibrant colors as well as the ladies.
ReplyDeleteYou can only pull out what IS there.
I didn't know there was a class on this, I would have signed up. Funny thing is, the last 2 art journal pages I just finished in the online class I'm taking, I pulled ladies out of the paint too. But that wasn't part of the assignment, I just felt I had to.
When they're in there and want out, we need to help them out, I suppose!
