I found Henrietta Harris's website on Pinterest and I love her drawings especially in her Landmarks and Features series. She left negative space for the faces and really focused on the hair for the portraits. I love the contrast and detail in these drawings, and think Harris has beautiful paintings as well!

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

Good day, Lauren. Indeed this is some very interesting art. It really speaks to me in a spiritual sense...cannot wait to see more great blog post like this one. Until then keep your chin up.
ReplyDeleteI really love how simple and well down these pieces are. I also like how the artist makes her work unique by not just painting/drawing basic portraits. She has made the pieces more interesting with contrasting paint or negative space over the faces.
ReplyDeleteI love this!! Everything about it just relates to my own personal aesthetic. Great inspo for someone's concentration in AP...
ReplyDeleteI love how the negative or blank space adds more life and a story to the images rather than just seeming unfinished! They are very appealing and I love the details in the hair.
