‘blue light’ self-portrait. I took the photograph at night, outside under the blue strip lights on the grillzebo. I really like the hair, so far. This is day one.
The photograph I’m working from. It took a few nights to get a photograph I liked enough to use. I love the colour.
Layer one done.
I’ve added some details to the jacket. I still need to do more work on the hair on the left hand side, and the face, but it’s coming along.
The original photo with the blue strip LED lights overhead.
Mostly finished. I’ve added the word ‘blue’ to the upper right-hand side with a small stencil. Photo to follow.
I added the word ‘blue’ to the painting. I cut the stencil for the lettering with my Cricut Maker. I used a black stencil material and it worked better than the other clear vinyl I’ve used before. It stuck to the canvas a lot better.
