Jack.

My 8th piece, Jack Nachmanovitch's portrait.

His brooding personality. Shy but audacious in thought.

I described it in a very imaginary way. The stars and the purple+blue background give a dreamlike and calm feeling of the painting.

I am very sleepy at the moment so I will continue to explain about this painting tomorrow in the class.

sketch 1

The body and hair are going to fade away into the dark surroudings. I am satisfied with the sketch otherwise.

about to paint this lad.

While Andy Warhol was inspiring me like crazy through this painting, I have spotted another great artist: Gustav Klimt.
Just like Andy Warhol, Gustav was insanely genius with the sense of colors. But his technique was more sophisticated. Unlike to Andy's simple and very straight forward one colored technique, Gustav decorated his painting with lots of different colors.
This slightly changed the appearence of my painting. Instead of painting with simple colors I decided to try some of Gustav's technique. From seeing 'The Kiss' to 'The Music II', I have noticed that he liked to use some variations of strokes like Van Gogh to emphasize the style of his painting. Therefore, I thought the yellow pattern and the polka dots would be something that Gustav would have done to my painting. Also, as I mentioned before, he never left out an area with only one color. I have put some blues around the yellows and some white, orage and purple around the polka dots.
I am going to get rid of the blue part. There are just too much things going on now. But yea, its not finished and this will be continued.

Libra

This is my 7th piece. The cropping tool is still not working, so I had to keep the black border.

These are my 8th and 9th pieces. The red one is "Flirtatious" and the eye is "Anger." Tell me what you think!

kitty portrait. (not complete)

this is kitty's portrait. she wanted a lot of pink, i painted lots of pink for the background but this is not done. not even the half-way through. This is an oil painting so its such a pain in the arse. it never dries and never dissapears. So i decided to see what other people think and paint this more carefully.

This is andy warhols painting which my painting was strongly inspired by.

Macy's Boots

Here are the two views of my fourth piece, Macy's Boots. Do the photographs work? Any suggestions for the piece? I'm pretty content with it but always open to feedback!
Thanks,
Josie
