"Damn, You're Hot"
12 x 12 Wood Picture Frame with 5 x 7 Opening
Happy PPF!
I hope this week has found you happy and well. I've been having a bit of fun lately working on this painted wood picture frame and wanted to share it with you here . . . .
One of the things I discovered while drawing her (on a gessoed surface), was that anything caught in a kneaded eraser will scratch. Of course she was almost completely drawn when I noticed that I'd inadvertently made huge horizontal marks across her face with said eraser. Humph. But then, I realized that I loved the look of it, so I made more marks (and dents and gouges) until I was satisfied with my "distressed" frame.
After that play, I painted her in with a combination of watercolor crayons, acrylic paints and glittery gel pens. I was going for a "made up" girl with "smoky" eyes and glossed lips (thank you, Stickles) and when I was done, my dear Hubby said that she looked hot, which of course is where the hand-drawn title came in. All that was left to do was some further distressing with sandpaper and she was complete. It's a bit saucy I know but, but . . . what the hey . . . .
Looking forward to seeing all of your painted pieces this week as well. Thanks to Kristin and Eva for inviting us all to the party.

She's gorgeous. I'm one of those folks who believes in happy accidents, so if there's a mark or a splot or a problem in my art, I just get out the sandpaper and whisk it around till it all blends in and is no longer an attempt to be neat and tidy! Love this artwork of yours.
You know, she kinda reminds me of the made-up girls on those MTV shows! ;) Love her! I managed to finish two pieces so day this week. It's a good art week :)
I love her smokey eyes and gloss. Dave is right!

I'm sure there is some kind of subtle life lesson here about the imperfections making something even better, hmmm? This is really great.
So good, what a great face...love your technique.
She owns that frame! I love it when an oops takes me in a new direction. I love the distressing!
I agree with Carolyn - those oops moments are what make transform our art from the good to the great. Love your girl - those white glimmers in her hair give her sparkle and shine too! Happy PPF!
