playing round with bright mexican colours and photos digitally
Original sketch using charcoal
I have started an art journal prompt about the outrageousness of Frida Kahlo over at the Milliande site (click the colour links to see info about the artist). Whenever I look at an image of Frida I am always struck by her intense gaze full of a mixture of pain and defiance as she led a troubled, painful chaotic life. I wanted to capture an intense gaze along with the mono eyebrow and I think my sketch is somewhere between Frida Kahlo and Iggy Pop..lol! Wanted to have a play with a digi layout with the sketch so here is one using some painted backgrounds and photos of trees all "colour burned" using Serif DSA 2..great fun.

Very clever Lorraine I like this a lot.

Love the way your artistic talent is evolving - I find the sketch quite scary but like the clever way you've merged it into the background
sorry you find it scary Pat but that was my intention to draw a face with an intense painful gaze as that is what I see when looking at Frida Kahlo
Lorraine, this piece is glorious. I love seeing your new artwork. They are always flowing with inspiration and happiness. BRAVO!
Ich wünsche Dir einen schönen Abend.
Liebe Grüße
