Artist's Comments

This was a mixed media project about ourselves. Our teacher told us to draw a ''self portrait'' of what we are. The goal was not to think about how it will turn out or what to draw but to keep on drawing/painting to see what comes out with it by just thinking about what you are or if there is some part of you that pops out.

This project was a good stress relief method for me. Since at the time I wasn't feeling too good.

Well, that's all I got to say on this. Enjoy :)

wellll it's a long list but since you asked here it is: J's list of doom!

Watercolor paper

water color paints (not the cheap kind like crayola)

ink mixed with glue (to give the outline)

salt(put it on when the paint is drying

newspaper (for the inner wing part thats white)

YES! glue (for the decopage or the tissue paper in the back)

Tissue paper (background)

Rubber cement glue (for the corners, I put the glue on first and painted it over with the water color)

and thats about it ^^ it's a really fun project to do.

:hug: thank you for the skin comment. I mixed up yellow and orange together and gave it a little tint of red.

It looks really neat! Especially the ink and the glue thing, I've never seen anybody do that before. ^_______^ What was the salt for?

If you toss in some salt with some water color paint it gives it texture and also the salt soaks in the paint and while it's drying it makes these unique swirl patterns ^^

I hope that answered your question XD if you have anymore keep asking!
