a watercolor i did for my "structure of art" discussion class.

the idea is: i define myself by my interactions with the people around me. the image they have of me, or at least the way i think others imagine me, is an acknowledgement of my existence.

everything in this painting was photo-referenced, including my silhouette in the center. i had my roommate take a picture of me lying on the floor in a "fetal position" (my ta commented that it also looked like i was breakdancing ;P). i used masking fluid to keep the center clean. the people are some of my friends and family members, and were referenced from photos i had on my computer from the past 6 months.

i started painting without penciling anything in beforehand to save time, but it still took about 8 hours.

awesome job kristen! eveyrone has their distinct likeness(especially ahma)! :D great work!
the idea just works out so much smoother with your own image left blank, although I didn't quite pick up the top-down viewpoint at first and kept thinking you had a mohawk :lol:
Whoa... no pencilling... it's very nicely done and a brilliant idea too! Great job!

thanks, bro! i think ahma looks the best in this picture, too.
that's pretty funny... i didn't see the mohawk thing until you pointed it out, although i wouldn't mind if people thought i was a breakdancer with a mohawk ;P
This is a really beautiful piece of work. There's a lot of feeling in it.
Oo thats really awsome *_*! Nicely colored, feels sketchy yet full of warmth *O* :adores chu:

whoa..this is great!
It has the likeness of the people u know (and I'm assuming this bc it looks like a person! lol), but its still mysterious in the fact that (a) i don't know all these ppl (but i do see burai! *points and laughs*) and (b) it's done in an obscure style. It's almost...blurred.
Blurred and yet detailed.
How DO you do it?
Great job, gurl! :hug:
