Frida Challenge May

Frida Challenge

I decided for this challenge to try my hand at photo transfer once more..

In the 'Lifebook' class I used this technique for the first time and loved it!

This time I left out the collage' base and transferred the 

black & white image onto watercolour paper.

Below is the next step - A colour wash over the whole of transfer and border,

to give me a feel of the colours I wanted to blend.

In the following step I used gesso to cover everything to provide a key, 

then I acrylics applied over face, hair and clothing, finally a decoupaged rose.

love & light

Frida Kahlo Challange May 2012

Via Gritty Jane

Jane's statement-


I know...many of us have painted Frida inspired paintings or joined in a Frida challenge before, 
but perhaps it's time for one more! If you have been in a creative funk like me, 
this might just be your ticket out. 


So here it is: 


Paint or make something Frida Kahlo inspired sometime during the month of May. 
Message me (rather than posting it to my wall) a photo and I will add it to the album. 
There is no competition...no prizes to be won...just an opportunity to stretch yourself and join in the fun. ♥ 
Wait...there is one rule. It has to be something NEW (done in the month of May). 
Do not submit something you 
have done in the past, ok?
