My "VinTaGe" Art....or work i've done in the past

This piece is one that was more fun, than hard.

A class project where we took a piece of art

from a favorite artist and put our Selves in the painting.

At the time I was really big into Klimt

{along with Dead Can Dance and Nag Champa}

I still LoVe Klimt.

{along with Dead Can Dance and Nag Champa}

Using my ultimate fave way of drawing:

chiaroscuro,

I went with Klimt's Danae.

One thing I did learn was this:
My professor knew right off that I had used a photo

because of the flatness of the light/dark contrast in the face.

This taught me to really look at how the Light is hitting

which has always been a problem for Me.

I really must look into going back to School!
