Feeling blue.

For various reasons...probably not a good time to take a good long look at myself...but anyway I wanted to do Amy's Inside Out project...details at the bottom of this long rambling post.

 and that meant looking at myself, or at least a photo of myself.

Week One: Inside Out.

I printed off a black and white photo of me.

I cut it out and stuck it to this old envelope.

the very lightly gessoed it, actually I watered the gesso down a bit.

Picked my colour, several shades and tints of blue, and started to colour it in.

I kept a copy of the original so I could see where to shade.

 I quite like it...I think...

This is the other side of the envelope, for now I am leaving it. At some point I think I may add some journalling or a poem to it.
