Okay so this week's topic for Tine's Studio Friday was PLAY. Sounds great, huh? Well hold your horses because the play was that you had to choose a medium and then do whatever you would do with your mouth! This was much more difficult than I thought but you know what? This was big fun! I used acrylic paint and without having the normal control, the paint was mostly blobbed on. I think that ended up giving it oil paint look to it. With my face so close to it, I really couldn't tell that I was achieving roundness and it felt like the paint wasn't going anywhere near where my brain wanted it to go. I kept thinking "this is gonna look like one of those elephant paintings!" I'm pretty amazed that it actually looks like an apple. What a fun exercise....sure pushed my comfort zone though! It was SO hard not to grab the brush with my hand and put the color right where I wanted it!
So who knows....maybe I'll do a whole series. :-)
Happy Friday to us all!
Wow, Michelle! You did a great job with the apple! It does look like an oil painting. Too cool!
