Rebecca Rose Artist

Copy of a face from an image search.  Poster for a horror film idea that I have. Collage "ocean goddess". Hand studies from a youtube video.

18 x 24"  I did this painting intuitively in a series of steps using s pray paint, watercolor, rubber cement and black ink . .  The ultimate result reminds me of a black web thus the title "Dark Web" which also refers to illicit use of the internet.  It's also a horror film.  

18 x 24 inches.  Self-portrait with chakras in style of Modigliani.  I think it needs a wider border to give it a sense of completeness.  Portrait by Amadeo Modigliani, an Italian painter/sculptor. The tattoo is awesome but not real. Midpoint. Initial drawing where I realized the neck is too long and decided to roll with it.

9 x 12 inches.  "Realistic" self-portrait.  The eyes should be lower and less wide open.  Midway point. Initial underpainting.

Painting of a familiar view for me. Original sketch. Original photograph

Using saran wrap technique and summer colors. Oranges pulled apart. Monochrome study.  I tried to paint with a very light hand here. Whole fruit in local colors. Whole fruit in monochromatic color.
