This started as a class demo for two of my different high school courses. Three classes were painting large colored "selfies"
and the other classes were working on large heads in charcoal. In both,
I was introducing the concept of the grid as a tool to transfer
accurately and to enlarge.
The isolated colors were my attempt to talk about bounced light and it's effect
on skin tone. I was trying to demonstrate risk by using cool blues in
patches, and not being so precious with my likeness. I probably should
have done my hair darker, but over the time the class was working on
theirs, I got my real hair tinted a little pink, and it really did not make
as much difference, after hours in the salon chair, as I would have
hoped, and hence, depicted!
The final image is apropos for the way it depicts a person split in different styles/directions. Do you like it?
