Artist Chi

My last showcase for the Plethora of Pretty Portraits for Professor Susan Moore's Painting Class Fall 2012, Artist Chi. I have one regret that I missed the opportunity to get a picture of the under painting of this painting. I was asked to wear something bright and colorful, it changed her painting. What I love about this painting:

1. My fingers don't look like claws;
2. Rarely will someone be able to tell the addition of my body to the background was done last. Before my hands looked as if they were hold the vase in space.

In her second set of portraits, it is believed she has best captured my likeness via painting verses drawing.

Artist Ashley from the Plethora of Pretty Portraits for Professor Susan Moore's Painting Class Fall 2012

Artist Ashley had the challenge of finding the lights when there was little light to help. I really love the painting. It is from the first pose I did for this session. The not so painful pose.

Artist Kenneth from the Plethora of Pretty Portraits for Professor Susan Moore's Painting Class Fall 2012

Kenneth took on a challenging angle to paint me from. He also pushed himself to add the partner in my scarf.

The biggest challenge with this angle was to have the side of my face sit in a true space and not be flat. I believe he did.

I wish I had gotten a picture of the painting after the new light was added.

The next feature from the 'Plethora of Pretty Portraits for Professor Susan Moore's Painting Class Fall 2012' Show is Eunbi.

I am showing two stages of Eunbi's portrait of me, the drawing and the painting. Yes, there is a difference. Artist Eunbi related the pain I was in during this pose. Even if I did not know I had been in pain, the painting related that.

I dislike breaking poses. Sometimes, when I chose a pose with the aim of being inspiring to the students there maybe a bit of pain involved. The students produced the stages of the paintings over six three hour classes.

I love both versions. The second painting there was also a major light increase. I will be showcasing her again for a different class, so keep an eye out.

 

Van Goghist Touch by Artist Blake

Blake is a student of Tyler School of Art and in Professor Susan Moore's Painting Class that created the show

Plethora of Pretty Portraits for Professor Susan Moore's Painting Class Fall 2012

I love when students are not afraid to take liberties. A portrait does not have to be like a photograph, in fact it is not. Blake's portrait inspired a special eye painting demo by Professor Susan Moore for the class. Blake's take on the portrait works and I love it. Blake put effort in trying to capture me from his view. He said I had a great expression, very nature, he just wanted to do it justice. I say he did. Once again, I love it.
