Stencil Pop Art

Sep 29, 2011

I finally fin­ished my “Pop Art” por­trait ver­sion of Ans­ley. Julie Fei-Fan Balzer calls this sten­cil Sum­mer and since she did cre­ate the sten­cil she has every right to name it Sum­mer but hon­estly, I think she needs to re-name it Ans­ley as it looks so much like her.

I plan on doing a mini work­shop in my Tips, Tech­niques and Tuto­ri­als online work­shop explain­ing how I cre­ated this “Pop Art” por­trait. Cre­at­ing the dimen­sion in her hair and facial fea­tures as well as pick­ing out funky paint col­ors was really fun. If you’re already reg­is­tered for this work­shop I plan on start­ing the tuto­r­ial, next week. I think it will be a fun change from the other projects posted. You never know you might like paint­ing with bright col­ors as much as I do. Which I find totally amus­ing since I am such a vin­tage girl at heart and hardly if ever cre­ate using bright colors.

Gotta start pack­ing and get­ting every­thing together for tomor­row as it is “Artis­tic Jour­ney” week­end. I will be tweet­ing pho­tos all dur­ing the event for you to see. It’s an awe­some week­end filled with lots of creativity.

Hugs!
