The Wonderstrange challenge was to use three stencils on one canvas.
When the paint from the last stencil dried, I gesso'ed in a figure and created a fairy tale sort of story:
I didn't know at this point that she would be an evil princess, but that's soon what she became: An Evil Princess in search of a hard black heart, the better to punish pretty stepdaughters down the road.
If you lean very close, I'll tell you a secret: I love this canvas. It might even be my favorite from the challenge thus far.
She is fantastic. And sad. Like she's looking for a hard black heart because she's tired of her squishy red one being stepped on. The true makings of an evil queen.
ReplyDeleteLike I said last night, clever clever clever use of that last stencil!!
Exactly! She has been hurt too many times, and she wants a hard, black hurt that can't be squashed!
DeleteAnd thanks so much for commenting! And for the stencil love! I was oddly worried that turning it into a tree was cheating somehow. I'm such a weirdo.
Holy Amaze-balls! I LOVE this. Her little mouth, the fact that she has a black little heart, her hair, EVERYTHING. This one's my favorite too.
ReplyDeleteYay! Thank you! <3
DeleteSo far my favorite too! I'm supposed to be writing right now, but couldn't help but peruse your blog after your fb post. So far canvas #10 has my heart as well... but all of them are truly amazing!
