Through out the semester I was looking for an excuse to paint again. I also wanted to learn a new method and style. I started researching Mixed media. Having done some in the past I enjoy it and I think it fits in quite well with New Media. One of the most facinating mixed media artist I came across Jason Mecier, does celebrity mixed media for a living. Jason's work is really good and was great motivation for me. Check out some of his stuff ( http://www.jasonmecier.com/title.html )
I really wanted to do a portrait but the future owner of the painting wanted her lillys. Another very interesting artist in Jen Worden. Jen's work is very dark but also very stylistic, definately worth checking out.
The piece I painted is for my younger sister Carlina. Its a 16x24 canvas, painted in mostly oil colors and resine. Its painted black & white photos over transparent lamanent and oil colors. Its really still a work in progress & the paint is taking quite a long time to dry. Sorry Carlina, your going to have to hold out.
