Self Portrait Watercolor: MARJORIE STRIDER and Martial Raysse Style
Written by Teresita Blanco (The Artsy Sister)
I did two new watercolor self-portraits. In order to make these paintings, I first took two selfies. I used them as reference before rendering the finished artworks.
The first painting was done Marjorie Strider Style. She is an American painter and sculptor. Her paintings have a lot of 3D elements.
The rose in the reference works sticks out of the painting. I wasn’t able to do any 3D Art. Still, I mimicked the rest of the painting style. I painted the rose with glitter to add detail to it.
The rest was just a matter of defining the rest of the painting. I added a bit of glitter to my hair in order to add groves into the hair. I think I managed to mimic the painting more or less.
My next artwork was done Martial Raysse style. He is a French painter and actor. He makes Nouveau Realism artworks. His paintings feature humans in odd colors. So, I decided to give my face a similar treatment.
The hair was quite a joy to make. I spent more of my time working on it. I added various hues, until it looked more or less like the reference material.
I think this is about it as far as my paintings are concerned. I hope you find my latest self-portraits amusing. My name is Teresita Blanco, the Artsy Sister. Bye, bye and God bless.
