Frisket & Paints & Shield used in painting "Brunette Model with Blues"


The frisket film used in painting "Brunette Model with Blues" is pictured above.  Also shown is the paints and the hand held poster board shield.  You can see I removed the arms from the main body on the frisket film.  This allowed me to remove the body frisket and spray along the other side of the left arm.  The poster board shield was hand held and I sprayed along the edge to produce the various body shapes with harder edges.

Finish This Picture (Revisited)

Contact Artist for purchase information      15 by 20 inches,    Acrylic on acid free illustration board
I've posted this painting before.  However, I recently went back and added the paint brush to the image.  I always thought that the piece needed another element to make it more complete.  The whole painting is a trompe l' oeil (French for "to fool the eye").  I usually avoid going back to continue painting after some time has elapsed.  However, I felt compelled to do this.  Oddly enough as I was planning to paint the brush into the picture I placed some actual tubes of paint on the painting to see how the shadows were cast. I did this to understand where the shadow would be on the brush.  I removed the tubes and lifted the painting.  As I did I had this strange sensation that the painted tubes were falling off the picture!! I realized the painting had definitely "fooled my eye".
