Subway Portrait Doodle

This one I like. Depth, texture, color, and face is expressive.

Dont like this portrait

Colors didnt work...has no depth...not enough texture. I could try and "fix" her just to challenge my own ideas of what I like. Everybody has different preference of what they like. I haven't even seen any of the movies nominated for an Oscar this year! Get my drift!

Loosening up the portrait

Why I call these doodles is because when I call it art then it becomes too intentional. Focusing on spontaneous helps knew combinations to happen. I see it as loosening up and letting mistakes take the "doodles" in another unexpected and unplanable direction. You learn to let go of the outcome which is important for learning, discovering and grow....like life I suppose!

Subway series of portraits

Mixed media collection of facial features collected on my daily commute on the NYC subway.

Subway portrait series

Mixed media...spontaneous reaction to whats happening currently on paper. Subconscious approach.
