quick sketch for day 15
A little rushed, I’m afraid - it’s been a hectic week but I wanted to get them done in time for #AceDay!
Hope you’re all having a good one, my fellow aces and our supporters!
Staying with the WIP of the last posts: In some ways, painting a big format is easier than a medium size… This is because there is so much more margen for errors: If you dot paint in a small or medium work and it’s ½ or 1 cm (0,39") off, you will have to cover it/wipe it off and do it again, Yet when it’s only 1 cm off on a 2,60 cm wide work, nobody will notice!!! 🎨🎨🎨 And so goes for this mouth, it’s probably about 85cm wide (our real mouth is approx 3cm). This gave me a lot of playground to style-lise it a lot! Personally I enjoy seeing here how my perception accepts the green color as part of the red lips and how my mind isn’t bothered by the continuous dark shadow that depicts both lip and deep “empty” mouth-space without tone changing! Perhaps I am a bit weird, but I think that is just so exiting! 😁😁😁 http://ift.tt/2nzEiHU
Me and the other 4 Dutch painters holding our group-artwork “Kunst” (=art in Dutch). To emphasize us being a group we decided to create an artwork all together. So each one of us got a letter of the word that binds us and painted it in our own style on a 50x50cm canvas. This artwork got auctioned off on the evening of the exhibition and we got a few very exited bidders! Perhaps also because they knew that a part of the €€ is going to go to the #johancruyfffoundation , which is a good cause founded by the late Soccerplayer Johan Cruyff (who was also a Dutchy deeply integrated into the Barcelona lifestyle, just like us). This foundation is helping disadvantaged kids getting a fair chance in playing sports. 🍀🍀🍀 This makes it clear why we look so happy on this photo, right?!! http://ift.tt/2nAy4qx
