By adding depth to the individuals through layers in the background makes these portraits so much more meaningful. I personally love how layers add history and stories to paintings and I love that you capture the essence of the person by writing about them and specifically building the individual's story in the background. It makes it so much more interesting. AND, keeping the portraits to monochromatic is the icing on the cupcake :) Love what you are doing here and I'm excited to see the progression of the Unselfie Project.

This post was quite informative and I ...Hi Kristin,<br />This post was quite informative and I enjoyed learning what you studied in school. I think your take on leaving the faces in shades of grey really does create contrast and depth to the complete portrait. I also love what you said about knowing a person's total character is not not only through their visual appearance but through their soul within. By keeping a check list before commencing the work helps to not forget to leave out some important characteristic features that are the make up of their unique portraiture, makes them real!<br /><br />Annabelle : )Annabellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16866075790514568788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2055360562091003092.post-75587893841235243072014-03-07T12:16:34.586-05:002014-03-07T12:16:34.586-05:00What an unusual and interesting technique.

Are these people you actually know, or do you select them based on their look or what they tell about themselves in their posts? Are you planning to have these beautiful works in an exhibit?
