Happy Paint Party Friday! I’ve been taking Sharon’s Faces in Collage online class and this is what I’ve been working on.Ā The idea is to use magazine photos in a collage, paint over the images turning them into something else, and let that shape the story. I’ve decided to call this piece Intrepid because the young woman seems fearless and determined and on a mysterious adventure. Below is a photo of the collage images IĀ used. It was great fun to turn the bowl of pears into an eagle hat!
very cool. you did a wonderful job of making this painting so mysterious…I feel like it should be in a book and a great story is there…

That eagle is AMAZING! Awesome work. š
Ooh! I love how you transformed the magazine collage into a painting all your own! Beautifully done!
Glad you posted images of both the painting and collage!
Happy PPF!!

Very intriguing – I love it! That eagle really does rock … and what’s with the 5 on the right? Just more mystery? š
great piece!
That is gorgeous! I already wanted to take Sharon’s class…now, I REALLY want to take her class. Love this!
I’ve never done this type of collage, if you have to be fun, I’ll try.
Terrific collage. Happy PPF and enjoy the weekend, x
great job and especially on the sleeve… that looks as though it was challenging but you have really pulled it off… looks great … happy ppf xx
This is such a creative approach with both the collage and to inform the painting! I think it turned out absolutely lovely! ~Happy Paint Party Friday! #9 Robin Panzer Art Studio 33

Wow, what an amazing painting. Love it.
Wow! What a fascinating technique! I love what you did with the collage. Your painting is gorgeous!!
Melisa, this is awesome work! I love the mysterious girl with the eagle hat.
Wow! This is wonderful! I’ve seen it yesterday when Sharon showcased her student’s art and I was instantly drawn to your piece. It’s amazing!
I LOVE this technique! And you did such a beautiful job making it your own! I used this method last year to create 3 canvases for my brother of him and his sons….. Thanks for reminding me of this!
