mentor

Even though I do not actually have a mentor post due anytime soon... I found one. Using the brilliant website "stumbleupon" I have "stumbled upon" Marion Bolognesi.
Reasons I LOVEEE this work:
- i hate drawing heads, i love drawing faces
- it's watercolors rather than oils
- the dripping watercolors is a technique i have been using in my most recent series
- ever since the last portrait project i have been on the lookout for cool portrait ideas
- these images all have the "person's look" without being a completely detailed rendering

My Spring Break journal (which has turned into both my new sktchbook and the book i attempted to make in the studio) is being brought on my flight to France in an hour - can't wait to be inspired by another country's beautiful art!!
