Visual language - "Self Esteem" - Stitching and water colour.

I scanned my stitched figures in and added water colour to them, using colours like red, yellow and orange and emphasised the different colours in the skin.
I have always had a great love for portraiture which used to be confined to just photo realism when i had a love for artist Chuck Close and illustrator Victoria Frances. However over the last 6 months y love for portraiture has developed and artists such as Egon Schiele and Jenny Saville now interest me with their use of mark making and striking use of colour to create controversial and shocking images which are yet , still beautiful.
