This is the next photo that I'm painting. I took it in Manhattan, last summer. So far, I have him on six different small canvases, and I'm thinking of adding more on the bottom (where the chalk is). I had the idea to use chalkboard paint for the ground, and then viewers could draw in what the chalk designs are, but I'm not sure if it will work.
I love the movement in his body. You can tell that he just spotted something, or noticed the drawings. The light hitting the side of his face is also really lovely. And, overall, he's quite darling.
I'll post a photo of the painting when it's a little farther along.
I think the chalk paint would absolutely work! It's easy to add and it would make your work interactive. This could be a cool experiment for you. Let's make this happen! Can you think of a space on campus that would be good for this project?
ReplyDeleteI would need a pretty big wall, and one that could take a number of tacks or sticky things. Any suggestions?
