Step Outside your box Saturdays-Magazine Art


Here's my submission for today's "Step Outside Your Box" Challenge!

I worked on this throughout the afternoon-in between errands, dinner, and making a batch of cookies!

This was TRULY outside my box. The image I used here, was from a magazine ad.

She was originally hispanic-I transformed her into a blonde with blue eyes using Acrylics and Caran D'Ache crayons . I also used some colors I normally don't use. I am really happy with this-this was lots of fun. Thanks to Lisa for helping me "Step outside my box."
I LOVE trying new things. I am up for any challenge! You just never know when you try something how it can change your perspective and broaden your skills :)

This one is 5x7 in size, substrate is matboard .

Looks like a fun challenge, your art doesn't look like it was outside of the box for you, though-looks more like a pro! I did a similar thing with a magazine image once, a Tara Finley idea, gesso the magazine image face, and then draw some of the features back in with a sharpie. Looked ghosty, but was fun:)
Happy belated Birthday, too!

WOW!!!

When Lisa posted this idea, I was thinking about what I can try out.
When I was doing my laundry this evening I was imagining the outcome.
I love what you did!
Kristy it is PERFECT and I am not just saying that.
You did a wonderful job and it looks good enough to sell!
I am really impressed!
