Description HOLY CRAP, BATMAN.
It's my face.


Mixed media portrait. Yup.
I really liked the over all peice, but there are a few things wrong with my face. (Which bugs me to no end...)

I used for the backround:
Watercolor
tissue paper
news paper
white gesso
salt
alcohol
your mom

And that's india ink for the actual drawing.
:]

Bravo for being brave and drawing your face, I'd be so nit-picky about mine that eventually it would look less like me than I thought it did in the first place. Very awesome color choice, like a neon sneeze. And the lines give this work a graffiti look to it which fits the clippings of the background very well.

I don't even know half of the materials you used ; 3 ; 'white gesso'? You're experience with traditional media is stunning! I love the bold lines and ink splatters yumyum

Ahaa <3 did you cut your hair? XD

Oh, and, white gesso is this white, goopy, crap that you paint on objects to make them look distant or faded.
It's a life saver.

Ask for it for a birthday or christmas (if you celebrate it) or something.
Or just mooch off of the school's if you're still in art.
