Looking For Inspiration - Self-Portrait - Basia versus Frida Kohlo

Self-Portrait by Basia P., January, 2015

With a great excitement Basia has set a table to get ready to try her new, artists’ colored pencils. She decided to draw a self-portrait. 

To spring her ideas I pulled Frida Kohlo album from a shelf. She looked through the paintings slowly and carefully described the compositions, colors and concepts. It appeared to be a good choice and powerful source.
