2010.01.25 Week 48: Modigliani: Before Their Necks Were Long, They Were Covered

Inspire App on my iThing.

~60 minutes.

Freehand from a photo, and from life.

 

This is based on Amedeo Modigliani's early painting Head of a Young Woman, 1908. She has both a normal neck and actual eyeballs! To make it a self-portrait, I made the eyes blue and added the pom-pom from my hat.

 

This is part of my Daily Portrait Project, in which I make a non-photographic image of myself every day and post it on the web. This series of self-portraits can be viewed in it's entirety at studiojuliakay.com/portraitproject.
