Way out of my comfort zone!

Well I am back today to show you what I have created
for the "Life Book" class that I am taking.
I am still not real confident in what I am doing in this class.

This is one crazy mixed media piece that I have created..

You will never guess how it started off.

That unless you took the class!

This class on this particular week was taught by
Kylie Pepyat-Fowler. It is a self portrait..  I had so much fun
taking this class.  We started off with a photo of our selfs..
Yes hard to believe that this started out as a photo of me! Hee Hee..
We did a image transfer and then we painted over it.

I ended up doing the transfer twice cause the first one was to light.
But the second on was just as bad. So I just used the second one!
That is probably why this looks nothing like me.
I could barley see the photo to paint over.

This took lots and lots of layers of paints..
Still don't know what in the heck I am doing with the shading..

I kinda wanted to do something different with the hair..
Once again. Not real comfortable doing hair.
But when I came up with this funky hair style I kinda liked it..
Maybe I should try it in real life..

So what do you think of my self portrait.
If only I had full lips like that in real life.  Hee Hee...
But I have to admit she kinda looks like a bobble head!


I found this Video to help me not give up.
There is still hope for me.. Maybe..
I know I have shared this with a couple of you!!

I am linking up to Paint Party Friday..
