Mixed Media - Assignment 2 - Exploring Drawing and Painting
This is my first time creating a picture in such large scale. I was very excited to get started but very nervous because of the size. I chose to do a portrait of Katy Perry. I had several different actresses and singers in mind, but when it came down to it, Katy's photo had the best full range of values. I used the back of an 8x6 foot linoleum tile as my canvas. Acrylic Paint and water for the backwash and then topped it with compressed black and gray charcoal. Critique is next Monday so I will post my final picture by then! Here are the processes that I went through so far.
Picture 1: (Hard to see-sorry)
Have the 12" grid drawn on canvas and began drawing Katy
Picture 2: Adding a backwash (watered down acrylic paint) for color
Picture 3: More backwash for highlights. Began Charcoal
Picture 4: More Charcoal
Picture 5: Displaying size compared to myself - began gray charcoal
Picture 6: Almost finished but still have detailing to work on.
