This is a painting that I did as a demonstration for my college class. I try to introduce my students to a little bit of technology as well as teaching painting and drawing skills. The kids always love this project. I usually paint from life but with this project I use photos and photoshop. With photoshop you can break the face into planes and abstractions. It is a good tool to use to get the students to actually SEE. Instead of drawing what they think an eye should look like they are forced to draw a series of abstract shapes that magically turn into a face when completed. I have this portrait on auction this week in my ebay store which can be reached by clicking here.. http://www.midwest-fine-art.com/ you can go to my blog at http://www.margaretaycock.blogspot.com/
