Face with Creature
Creature
Pink Tartan
Combo
Combo 2
Still playing with the face in profile. The "Creature" background is an abstract drawing-painting that I worked on tonight. I didn't plan for it to have the "face" added as a layer, but it ended up with one anyway. The black lines and the soft erased areas work with the lines and whites of the face.
"Pink Tartan" is a result of smearing around the colors and erasing out areas of the under layers. I don't see any of the original background showing in it. Not sure I even like this one. I don't use this blog as a place to put my best work, though. I see it as a place to post all of the stuff that I am working on at the time. What works is a decision for later -- if I ever put them on my website or print them for a show. For now...
"Combo" and Combo 2" are a combination of "Punk" from yesterday and "Pink Tartan." Not sure the hair works, but I like the dark red contrasting with the rest of the piece. In the second one, I smeared out the tube paint from the under layer with the palette knife.
