A few more #facemasks I’ve made from past #paintings I’ve done. #tintin and a few others #covidmasks #facemask #melbourne #australianartists
Progress. Her #haircolor has finally been decided on. The #technique I’m using to paint this 6 foot by 10 foot painting is a very laborious one involving the layering very faint, acrylic glazes of #color one on top of the other to build up a luminosity and softness to the subject matter. Maybe that’s why it’s over a year in working on this #painting and I still don’t quite see the end in sight ... #studioprogress #paintingprogress #artiststudio #portraitpainting #womeninart #melbourne #australianartist
Making #facemasks from my paintings. A fun way to make the most of this not-so-fun situation. Message me if one strikes your fancy! #covid19 #coronavirusmask #covidmask #staysafe #painter #australianartist #AubreyRhodes
Got some masks made from past paintings I’ve done. Feels good to exert a little control of my own over all of this craziness in the world right now ... #coronavirusmask #covidmask #mask #maskart #painter #australianartist
Early days for the lady with the #cocktail ... #martini #champagne #vintagelife #paintingprogress #melbourneartist #portraitpainter
#puzzle number 2 done from my 2010 #painting called “Envy Me” based on #wonderwoman It’s 1000 pieces and again harder to finish than I’d anticipated but really fun! #isolationcreation #isolation #art #melbourneartist #australianartists
Finished the first #puzzle I had made from one on my #paintings . It was 1000 pieces and harder than I’d expected! Now on to another one, the #wonderwoman painting is next. I think it’s produced by the same maker as this one, so I’m expecting the quality to be the same. We’ll see! #isolationcreation #puzzles #art #fineart #painting #coronaviruscreations #stayathome #bettiepage
And now this #puzzle of my current #painting in progress just showed up! 1000 monochromatic pieces! I’m testing out different puzzle companies and used an image of the #underpainting of the painting I’m working on now for this one. But I’ve got the Wonder Woman to do next, so this one will have to wait! #isolationcreation #isolation #coronaviruscreation #puzzles #art #painting #woman #blackandwhite
Trying something new with my paintings: turning them into #puzzles ! This is the first one I’ve attempted. 1000 pieces. I’ve made two more that are waiting for me after this one. I’m experimenting with different companies to see which ones can produce these at high quality but low enough cost that I could sell them. But for now, I’m just having fun doing them with my family! #isolationcreation #coronaviruspuzzle #puzzle #art #painting #stayathome
