So serious.... what's that about? I had a really fun time with this project even if it doesn't look like it. My painter pal Linda was visiting this weekend -- we created a 'self-portrait' challenge Sunday. I decided to play with color and values rather than go with traditional flesh tones. My grandson's response: "It's good Nona...it looks like an alien. (then quickly...A good alien."!
Why so serious?...had a hand-mirror set up right next to the canvas board on the easel. Eyes going back and forth - intent on finding the planes/values/soft and hard edges. So focused on working things out - you forget to smile are yourself (plus you feel a bit silly smiling into a mirror all afternoon) And yes..I did ignore many of those 'laugh' lines... :-)
