Weekly artist exploration/journaling series: Week 3 Part 5 of 5 PORTRAIT and FORM #LisaLarson #arttherapy

Posted by Katarina Thorsen on

WEEK 3 Part 5 of 5: Lisa Larson

The essence of Lisa Larson’s work is FORM.  In her ceramics and drawings, she captures the simple form and does not over-work it.

That’s the biggest lesson I take away from spending this week with Lisa.

Lisa Larson

The same principle applies to her portraits:

Today, capture the simple form in a friend’s face and build on it to capture their essence.
