Artist Inspiration
My inspiration came from Madame Matisse by Henri Matisse. I was inspired by the use of color and different tones of the piece. I try to incorporate those color in the face to represent different perspectives of me. I wanted to represent who I wanted to be, showing it in a way that was elegant and kind of an illusion for the colors that I chose.
reflection
This piece was very valuable to me because that image that you see was who I wanted to be at one point but I was too afraid to say it so drew who I wanted to be. it was a hard process for me because I did not know what color to use for this work but working with pastel allowed me to cover-up every little mistake that I was doing, is was not easy mixing the colors because they did no blend in correctly, there were some parts that had more light than other. I don't feel that my blending was what I wanted to be but at this point I though that it was acceptable because it was my second time painting with pastel. I feel that I can manipulate this medium better than any other so enjoyed working with pastel because it allowed me to work faster and efficient .
