When you create portraits for a living you often get asked, "Is this you?". My answer was always, "No". I began to worry that perhaps people saw my lack of self portraits as a sign of insecurity. It wasn't that I felt I wasn't beautiful, it was simply that I didn't find my face as interesting to capture since I see it everyday! I created this portrait because I wanted to show my audience that I am confident in my own unique beauty in hopes of encouraging all women to feel the same. We are all unique beings and that makes us all beautiful!

Bryan's Beautiful Baby Girls

"Bryan's Beautiful Baby Girls"
December 2014
Mixed Media on Canvas
(Watercolour Paint and Pencil)
8" x 10"/each
COMMISSION


With my First Solo Exhibition finally finished I get a chance to share some projects I managed to complete during all of the hustle and bustle! Bryan contacted me before the holidays to ask if I had time to squeeze in a custom portrait series he would be giving to his wife for Christmas. With little time on my hands, having already decided I needed to skip my holidays with my family to work on my new "True Beauty" series (made especially for the exhibition), I offered to create these little mixed media pieces using watercolour and pencil. Bryan expressed that he liked the look of old black and white photos and wanted the artworks to match his wive's black picture frames. So I decided to use washes of black, grey, sepia, and brown watercolour and varying tones of pencil to capture their beautiful baby girls. I also finished off the sides with black paint so that the 8" x 10" canvases would match the frames already up in their home. I've since heard from Bryan and he tells me his wife really loved them! Creating cherished custom artworks such as these makes my work so rewarding. :) 

This style is very affordable! Contact me at Info@MalindaPrudhomme.com for a quote on your own custom mixed media portraits! :)
