Currently in my Painting II class, I am working on this self portrait. It is 5' x 5', I like working big. This painting started out as something completely different. I was going to use polymer transfers (pictures of myself working on the painting) and make the work about..working. Complicated, I know. Anyhow, that idea didn't work. The transfers were way too dark and it would have looked like crap. This project was really difficult for me for some reason. After a couple days (and some consulting with nE-coli), I decided to make a contour line drawing (using line from the pictures I took of myself) and painted in the shapes that they created. Essentially it is a self-reflexive process painting. Ta Da! It is still in progress...
I have been told that I'm a colorist...
