Frida Kahlo self portraits

Pretty amazing things tend to happen when I face (ha! no pun intended) a fear with my art and my teaching. 

First off, I have always hated, capital H Hated, drawing people. Trees, houses or doodles, I'm your girl but drawing faces....I'd rather not. So, when I sucked it up and put Frida Kahlo on the list for Mimicking the Masters, I decided to take Christy Tomblinson's SheArt 3 workshop, which gave me a good idea of what I wanted to do and how to tackle face making. 

Here is what my brave little kids created! Amazing how fearless they are! I could learn a thing or two from them!

Klee Cityscapes

Geometry + architecture + modern art + killer color theory = Paul Klee 

We inititally drafted our design focusing on the shapes he used in his work, then transferred it to the canvas.

Working with one color at a time, trying to make it as boxy as possible and as always they made their own color choices. 

Coming together!

We used Faber Castell Gelatos to add the finishing touch.
