Hi Everyone! It’s Lisa Novogrodski
here again to share
my final guest design project with you. I am sharing two portrait paintings I
created with the Sharon and Free Spirit stencils! I’ve had a wonderful time
creating with the Bloom Girls and want to thank Jamie for having me as her
guest this month!
My first drawing was done with the Sharon stencil. I used
only her face outlined in graphite and then enhanced with it for shading. I
painted with acrylics and Caron D’ache water soluble crayons for detailing and
the main coloring and shading of her face. The background was done with a mix
of misting, a little bit of stencils and ink and some random stamping. Both of my
projects were created on water color paper.
My second drawing was done with both the Sharon and Free
Spirit stencils. I drew my face using Sharon stencil so it was still front
facing but slightly tilted. I used the hair but selected the lines from the
stencil I wanted to use to form a hairstyle that suited my needs. I slipped in
some feathers from the Free Spirit stencil. I enjoy working with graphite and
like to mix it in with my painting. I kept the feathers in the graphite and
smudged them slightly. The rest of the piece was again colored with Caron
D’ache water soluble crayons. I splattered some mists and did some random
stamping but kept it subtle.
I used a mixed media background tearing up book pages and adhered
them with gel medium. Finally I subtly stenciled with some modeling paste for
more texture.
