Donna's project included a monochrome painting of some flowers in a vase, which looked really cool, but she encouraged us to paint whatever we like in black and white. A few people in the Facebook group created portraits for this lesson and I really liked that idea. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to pull it off but I felt fearless and ready for the challenge.
This project took me waaaaay out of my comfort zone - in fact, my comfort zone was so far behind, it was just a tiny dot on the horizon, eeeks! The process very much reminded me of Annie Hamman's Fearless Painting lesson, and I did say I was going to try it again, so true to my word here it is combined with Donna's monochrome technique.
I only used mars black, payne's grey and titanium white acrylics. I did start with a rough sketch to get the proportions right, but after that it was just brushes and paint. As a finishing touch I added a stamped butterfly and a collaged crown for a more "mixed-media" feel.
Tam's lesson was a lot more colourful, and involved collaged flowers and butterflies. The face was painted over my own photo, though obviously, it looks nothing like me. The words represent affirmations of what I want to attract in my life. I deliberately didn't ask for anything specific - if last year has taught me anything, it is this: Be careful what you wish for. What you think you want may not be what you need! Here's the picture I created with this in mind, following Tam's prompts:
Hello, Can I know the name of the person who painted the second paint? It is wonderful and I would like to print it and put it in my home. but I would like to write the name of the painter. Would it be possible?
