Texture Practice 2

     Another texture practice. Acrylic paint and string on manilla folder. This time I experimented with incorporating string into a piece. There was this tangled mess of string in my mom's sewing box and I figured it would have more use in a piece of art than for sewing.
     It was fun making this wacky face. Sometimes I like to take a break from smooth values, so it was really enjoyable to work with something simple.
     I think this practice played a part in making the Pipe Blow Out painting. It has the same blocking of color, exaggerated line work of facial features, and the way the eyes look outward.
