You have to laugh.....!

Okay.... so I decided to have a go at a drawing exercise - "Let Go of Looking Good" on the Sketchbook Challenge blog.  The idea is to draw yourself with white crayon on a white background.  Look at yourself in a mirror and draw yourself without looking at the paper.  Once the exercise is finished, paint over the white crayon with watercolours to reveal the image.  Now I know how Picasso did it.   No rude comments please. LMAO!

At least it looks like a face Carol - if I tried it I doubt the lines would link up. Well done. If you frame it and send it to a gallery for modern art, someone might pay a nice sum for it!

Well, at least I'll be able to recognise you tomorrow now that I've seen your self portrait. lol

Well Carol I would say it is better than Piccaso. I really don't see what people see in his work. I am always getting in trouble for saying that

Very Picasso like! I love tasks like this as you can't judge it by likeness as it's done 'blind' as it were, so you can just enjoy it for it's interesting line etc :)

Neet said...

Oops! Bet you enjoyed this but how brave of you to blog it. Now dare I?

Karen said...

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!! This is a giggle :-) Yeah, I think this must have been how Picasso worked - and his paintings sell for millions! x

No rude comments from me except if that is you then who is the women in your profile photo?!!!
These exercises are great and very freeing. I have a series of books and because it is 9.00 p.m. at night of course I cannot come up with the authors name. Typically the name will come to mind at 5.00 a.m lol. She wrote The Artist's Way amongst others.
Okay, I am now rambling so signing off.
