In the meantime with my warping frame, I took a break to paint a figure. I was experimenting with the black of the foam core and layering. I really do like the final result of this piece. I finalized with some chalk and glitter. I'm thinking of cranking out a few variations of paintings in this style on actual canvas. Been working on a lot..... the big frame piece was put on pause unfortunately due to complications with the foam core and warping. In fixing the warping I ended up just saturating the back with water which seemingly did work. I've come back from the warping to add some figural gestural markings. I want to ultimately have a figure with a dress, hopefully the dress can have some 3D elements and come off the canvas. Excited to finish this piece. I also want to incorporate perhaps a glittered bodice? Not sure yet. She's done! I attached the paper flowers to the canvas with hot glue. At certain points I also poked holes in the canvas and attached them that way. I'm rather happy with how it turned out but still al little unsure of whether or not the flowers go with the piece. I also would've liked to make the final figure pop out of the background a bit more.
Currently making large, sculptural flowers to supplement the wacky hair. It's taking quite a while as I have been paper macheing paper after paper to construct the flower. I have spent two classes just paper macheing and one actually constructing. I'd like to ideally make 3-5 flowers, but the paper macheing and construction process is rather time consuming. I like the overall look of the flowers though!
I definitely went into this fast. I've been working in smaller increments and forgot to go in to really check the angle of the face. But the proportion and tilt of the head is off. Also the lips and the general face shape (which are rather bigger elements that are harder to change). I'm not really sure how to make it better from her as its so off. I'm thinking of just starting over?
Haha I'm completely just going with it. I'm not sure what's up with the hair or if I like it? One of my challenges was to incorporate a 3D element...and this is what I came up with. It ultimately will have to be balanced by another 3-dimensional piece so I'm thinking maybe massive sculptural flowers?
So uh... its been a while since I've done drawing from a photo. Confession I for sure spent a week and a half choosing a photo. Last week I began penciling, and this week I went in with the conte. It is not right at all. I think I need to give myself more than thirty minutes because it takes me a while to get my bearings for this type of drawing. The angle is off completely. Will have to go back and fix it somehow.
Did the groundwork for the piece today beginning with my gestural figure. I want to get a little more definition for with neck and face area. I'm not sure exactly how to go about that whether I should find a reference photo or create my own reference photo. I will look into it a bit more. I really like my use of different viscosities within the acrylic medium and plan to play around with that a bit more. For now, I am rather excited with where my piece is going!
