Artsy Lady Canvas at Bella Crafts

I'm back again for Bella Crafts Publishing, to show you a painting I've made using some awesome paints from Deco Art Media. I was so fortunate to have received several boxes of Deco Art goodness back in January, just to try it out. Can you believe that? WOW! Talk about a generous company, as I've seen many bloggers come away with boxes of goodies from them. Thank you Deco Art, and I LOVE your goods! 
Back to the painting...my daughter loves make-up and all who have iconically worn it. Recently, she found a picture of a painting of Marilyn Monroe, and left it on my work desk. That translates to, "Hey Mom, make this for me!". While I couldn't copy the work exactly, as it's someone either than me, I did the best I could at capturing the face, and although more like Madonna...;0)...I'm happy with the result, and more importantly she was very happy with it. To see the tutorial click on over to Bella Crafts, but here are a few more pictures of the 24x24 canvas.

  1. When I saw this on FB it reminded me so much of Marilyn so I cannot see Madonna in it... you have done an absolutely fabulous job on this Anita - very iconic and very beautiful! Those DecoArt paints are just amazing... Must pin this! Hugs, Anne xx

  4. This piece turned out AMAZING! I thought you had tangled the hair yourself and was surprised to see how you actually did it in the tutorial. I'm sure your daughter is delighted with this fab piece of gallery worthy art. Thanks for the tutorial sharing all your secrets it should give everyone the little boost they might need to draw faces.
