My Modigliani

Are you ready for this?
Did you try it?

Please overlook the funny wavy lines.

I don't know what that's about.





Did I tell you I got a new camera?


Jolt ahead.....

She made me do it.








OK, that was fun. I will finish tomorrow.
And then I think I will do it (Modigliani challenge) again and tame the colors a good bit.








What I really enjoyed was painting without a sketch.
That was a great challenge.
You should try it.
I will be up early tomorrow. So,
Enough for tonight,
Sharon

  4. i LOVE this technique. i tried it before i saw your blog post about mod...(spelling???), and now i can't wait to do it again. i've seen other artists use it, but i'm self-taught so sometimes i second guess what i "see" in others' work. it's good to know that my eyes weren't fooling me! i hope to paint into the wee hours of the night after church and food and fun with family. you are a creative blessing in my life. :)

  8. It's lovely. About those lines -- I'm no expert but when I get strange stuff like that on my images, I open the image in Paint Shop Pro and choose effects. Sometimes you can choose "blur", or "reduce noise" or "despeckle". I try stuff like that.

  9. Well...I did start a painting, but I was busy with "other" art like making mail art for someone. I'm glad I waited coz I was going to do it all wrong. Your's is very nice.
    DH decided he wanted to move furniture around...guess he forgot it was Mother's day?
    I think your lines may have come from the patterns in the canvas and the way the light was hitting it. Kind of like when people on TV wear stripes and they go all wonky.
    Have a great week!

  12. What a lovely effect - It always works so wonderfully together.
    I rarely paint these days, Monday is cleaning day anyway.
    BTW I think the wavy lines are down to downsizing of the photo. It happens to me when I re-size them in one go ( to 30% of the original size for example) Instead I realised that if I resize in several steps - say 85% several times, it does not do it.
    It also happens when you view a larger picture as a thumbnail. Something to do with the number of pixels...
