janice's birthday pressie

, , No Comments
made a pseudo resolution this year to try my best to give handmade presents.
so i fail as a friend, because i've known janice since...2007? and i don't i've ever given her a pressie. this year, i promised janice that i would paint her a nude, but of course! i lie!
ended up spending the evening two nights before sketching and painting this image that i completely completely jacked from blanca gomez
just sketched it in my a4 visual art diary and then painted using acrylics that i've had for years now...i think i ended up using blue, white, red and a tiny tiny bit of yellow?
i think i actually prefer it as a sketch, but oh well! sorry janice :(
and then i put it all into a frame with a white border because i thought it would look more pro than a ripped page from a notepad...





and then i had leftover paint and i knew i wanted to make the card as well so i ended up with this



happy birthday again!
