“My goal is to always leave others feeling inspired and empowered to be their best creative and authentic selves. I hope that my expression of Art leaves a lasting impression on the people I come in contact with in a way that ignites their soul.”
Warm-up + Project
I love the distorted, oversized figures in Courtney Simone's paintings.
Painting small heads on bodies that fill the canvas, enhanced with color and bold patterns, offers the viewer an interesting perspective.
It led me to consider the idea of a tiny head/face resting on a large body. Perhaps the images were more about "Being", the importance of the entirety of a person.
Consider colors, marks, and pattern ideas to fill in the large spaces of your body features. All materials are acceptable on Bristol board, watercolor or mixed-media paper.
