On Paint Your Heart and Soul and how I create characters and stories with my art.

​If you have been following me long enough you heard me talk about how I love storytelling in art other artist and mine, how it's  almost always the first thing that hooks me on a new artist and how I've been working for years to incorporate that element in my own art. Well if you did not know, now you do :)

It's something that I have been focusing a lot in the last year, working mainly with the theme of strong women I search for a way to tell their story by doing more than a simple portrait. 

Sometimes it's the choice of a color palette that will completely change the mood of similar paintings. 

​with Morgan Le Fay I used an earth tone palette as a reminiscence of her lifestyle as an enchantress in the Arthurian world.

---

​for The Morrigan, I used a very dark and more mysterious color palette evoking war and drama you can almost see her on the battlefield and the red around her hands as she is bringing the raven back to life.

​Another way I love to explore in my storytelling is creating what I call totem portrait, sometimes the animal is a companion sometimes it becomes part of the portrait like an anamorphosis. And that's what I want to explore with you in my class for Paint your Heart and Soul 2018. To give you an idea here's a few examples of some I did in the past. 
For my second lesson, I want to share with you my technique to create colorful and realistic skin tone and how black and white photo reference can be one of your best friends to achieve that.

I'm not sure yet which animal will emerge, would it be a lady swan, an owl enchantress, a she-wolf, or a more feline temptress? Intrigue?  Registration for “PAINT YOUR HEART AND SOUL 2018” is open you get
