Above is the edition of blind contour drawings we did in preparation for the final painting. For this painting we made several blind contour drawings in order to pick out a feature of our faces to accentuate. The feature that stood out the most for me was my smirk so I decided to keep them very pale in order to strike a balance between the face and shirt. It also provided a nice bit of contrast and emphasis on the lips in comparison to the rest of the face. The painting style I used for this piece was completely experimental and I utilized several different techniques while working. The hair was applied with a palette knife whereas the rest of the painting was done with dry brushing and an interesting attempt at watercoloring with acrylics. For our critiques of this painting we were told to choose a song that we felt related to us and or our paintings to play while we presented our finished works. The songs I chose were Toxic- Britney Spears, which was in relation to the painting itself and Teen Idle- Marina & the Diamonds which was in relation to myself as a person. The painting as a whole made me think of the snippets in Toxic that were grabbed from an Indian soap opera and the color palette is also reminiscent of hazardous waste. I personally relate to Teen Idle because my aesthetic is very strongly the exact brand of emo/goth pop that, that particular song oozes.
