PYH&S 2018-Class 4-Contour Sketching and Negative Painting

Inspired by Tina Berendsohn's class in Paint Your Heart and Soul 2018 (link on sidebar), but I didn't follow her instructions explicitly. I did mine in a 9" x 12" mixed media paper sketchbook, and had a blast! Love her techniques, and the outcome!

Different acrylics applied for background...

My figures emerged from the background and I sketched them in loosely with a reddish Conte' pencil...

Now I wish I'd painted on canvas! This is a warm up practice piece for the second class from Tina later on in the course, but I love it, even if it's not as abstract as it should be, and will definitely be doing more of them!
