Behind The Mask

“Behind The Mask”

Started from monochromatic painting using Ivory black and Titanium white.

This is such an effective way in order to get the right value.

Apply whatever the color (in this case, I used mix of Permanent rose and Ultramarine blue) thinly on the top of the first monochromatic layer after it has dried. For the background I used mix of Ivory black, Crimson lake and Ultramarine blue.

Still life set up using my black costume & the mask I wore at my dance recital on last Sunday.

You could probably guess from the title what kind of dance performance it was. 

Yes, it’s Michael Jackson and I used them for “2BAD”.

I performed my favorite king of pop, MJ’s 6 dance numbers! Totally nailed it!?...well, almost!

I really love to dance as much as painting.  All my dance mates are so great and I’m having so much fun.  It’s absolutely necessary to go out dancing because pursuing art is such a solitary work, and  usually during the daytime I don’t get to talk to anybody but me which is dangerous! :). Life is a balance indeed.

Thank you for looking.

Have a nice day!
