This months theme over at AJJ is 'Inspired by the Masters'. The idea is that you create something in the style of a famous artist. For my first offering I chose to work in coloured pencils in the style of 'Modigliani'. You can see it here.
At the moment I have been focusing on using coloured pencils, a medium that I am trying to improve on so my second offering for AJJ is also in coloured pencils along with gel pens. The artist I have chosen this time is 'Klimt'.
I have a lovely book on Klimt and I used the picture on the left as inspiration for this piece.

I had such a terrible time trying to photograph this. The daylight is really bad today so I had to put the electric light to highlight the gold in her hair. It's times like this I think I should make the effort to set up my light tent
Thanks for visiting. x

ReplyDeleteLovely piece of art.
ReplyDeleteYour Klimt art is fantastic!! I was inspired to create something of his too and now I want to go to the library to find a book about him and his art. I love that this AJJ theme has opened many of us up to artists we may not have known otherwise.

She has so much character and charm. I love your take on Klimt's style. He is one of my muses. Havel a lovely week,Carol. xo
ReplyDeleteLove your inspiration, your technique and the lovely, expressive outcome too!
ReplyDeleteShe is beautiful, I love her dress and the golden highlights show up really well. Great work Carol (hugs)
ReplyDeleteI like your version of Klimt's painting. I always use my scanner for smaller paintings, it's so much easier that taking photographs. Sometimes colours can come out quite differently though, especially neon colours, and maybe also gold colours (haven't used much gold yet, so can't really tell ...)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, I love how the gel pens stand out!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful - I love the feel of the piece, she's so elegant and that hair is amazing!
ReplyDeleteYou are really rolling with the pencils and black paper Carol this is fabulous
ReplyDeleteI love it. very good representation of a Klimt.
