WEEK 1 PART 3: Frida Kahlo

Choose your favorite Frida Kahlo piece

Now open your journal wide and use 2 full pages to reproduce LOOSELY the full piece or part of it.

INGEST/DIGEST/REGURGITATE it.

ART ABOUT ART.

I use coffee instead of water when I use watercolor etc.  It gives a nice aged look.  I always keep a bottle of white acrylic paint on hand for highlights.

Take a few minutes to write why you chose the piece and what reproducing it means to you.

People copy stuff they like. They don’t copy stuff they don’t like. The more a work is copied, the more valuable it becomes. Value isn’t taken away by fans, it is added by them, every time they copy.  – copyheart.org
