Her Slow Disappearance

Ref
with special permission from model and photographer pluschkind

I bumped into this fantastic image while browsing the photography on deviant art and the photographer/model was happy to let me try my hand at drawing it.
As you can see though, I ended up painting it. oils on watercolour paper. I’ve never tried that before but i had no black watercolour paint so I thought, why not!? So all I used was black oils and turpentine to get the greys, like with watercolours.
The way the white cuts up the image reminded me of an image we’d looked at in my visual culture class, the artist had digitally erased lines through the person to create white tribal markings. this erasure gave me the idea for the title of this piece.

This Portrait is available in my 2009 calendar!

Incredible study. You are quite the artist. This is masterfully done. Did you alter anything from the original photograph? The technique you used is interesting. I never thought of doing that. I’ll have to try that sometime. :)
hatefueled replied

I brightened the contrast of the reference in photoshop so that the white stripes didnt have and edge so that it looks like she’s being erased from the image, inspired by an aboriginal artist who exhibited in a Perth university recently, can’t recall the name at the moment.
this isn’t perfect though. But its one of my closest to the reference works which doesn’t happen very often due to my preference to working freehand.
