Model: Amata
This weekend on Saturday at T.Ruth Artspace(2403 NW Thurman) I will be body painting my 5th model. I'm interested to see how that materializes. If you are in Portland Oregon, feel free to stop on in. We will be there pretty much all day starting at 10:00am and ending around 5:00pm.
Speaking about works in progress, i started on a new painting:
This background was done on Monday as the varnish dried on the "Blossom" painting.
Im enjoying these really simplistic, semi impressionistic backgrounds vs my usual one color gradation backgrounds. For this one i was going for an "at sea sunset" kinda vibe.
hope that translates.
Last night i managed to outline the subject onto the background:
Now its time to start laying the foundation colors, mapping out the creature's basic color palette.
So thats it for now. More updates soon though!
Peace n Love,

Wow...its wonderful to see all of your projects in progress and finished. I love how the lines change your live models and the vibrant colors enliven the black lines.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your words!
ReplyDeletethose black lines do seem to play an important part in my painting work. so glad you enjoy.
im hoping to be done with the new sea/sunset one eyed mermaid painting featured above- tonight! lets see if i can make that happen....
thanks again for the support.
best wishes,

I cant even begin to say enough about your work. I am constantly amazed. I don't know what you are planning on doing with the photographs of the body painting that you have been doing, but it would make a very strong series or collection.
ReplyDeleteI love the green and orange background. You've got a creative mind and it translates so well on to the canvases of your choice!
Kelly, as always i really appreciate your input!
ReplyDeletewith the photos from this body painting project i have been thinking about having a gallery opening/show with them once i have done all 10 shoots as planned. I have to find the right gallery, pitch the body painting work and see if i can do a show.
I was also thinking it would be interesting if i could someone get some funding to publish an art book of all the photos. I have to do some research and see whats possible.
wish me luck!
