‘Madame C:Journal Ent I’

Inspirations behind the Art, , , , , , , ,

   I am not able to upload the process videos yet, but I will at the first chance I receive. This is one of the most special acrylic personalized portraits that I’ve had the privilege of being approached first to create.

I’ve been inspired by watching process art videos on other amazing artists’ Instagram and business websites, which is why I have chosen to make my own live stream. None of my art process has been edited/tampered in any shape or form. I choose from a wide variety of music to listen to as I weave with my magic, and to entertain my local/global audience.

My playlist for this series of live journals are:

  1. ‘Fight ’til the End’ by Jack Savoretti
  2. ‘I Found’ by Amber Run
  3. ‘Dollhouse’ by Melanie Martinez
  4. ‘Chillin’ like a Villain’ by Adam Schmalholz, Tom Sturges, Antonina Armato, Tim James
  5. ‘Ways to be Wicked’ by Sam Hollander
  6. ‘If Only’ by Adam Anders
  7. ‘Playdate’ by Melanie Martinez
  8. ‘Big Girls don’t Cry’ by Fergie & Toby Gad
  9. ‘How to Save a Life’ by the Fray
  10. ‘Game of Survival’ by Ruelle
  11. ‘Cut the Cord’ by Shinedown
  12. ‘Sound of Madness’ by Shinedown
  13. ‘Enemies’ by Shinedown
  14. ‘Adrenaline’ by Shinedown
  15. ‘Call Me’ by Shinedown
  16. ‘If You Only Knew’ by Shinedown

I’m really hoping my close friend will appreciate this personalized portrait of her, as much as I loved working on it (after I had set up the foundation layers, of course!)

The First Layer is just dabbing on paint, some color contrast, and vivid strokes of water.

Beginning to define my friend with glowing pastels against the dark, murky moon adorned sky and silky glowing waters.

After contacting the real ‘Madame C’ via DM on Instagram, I altered her formerly pale peach nightshirt and hunter green panties to a glossy lavender and darker underwear.

I’m very excited to show the completed version of ‘Madame C’ very soon. I also have several other ideas that I’m looking forward to working on outside of the thumbnails. Think of them as profound throwbacks to my childhood as a selective mute, introvert (still am), and old soul (I feel as though I’m at least 1,000 years of age, lmao!) Enjoy your Friday night everyone!
