About the art: beginning with a drawing in stabilo pencil and charcoal, jumping off to a canvas and allowing the paint to create happy accidents and textures, and also allowing the woman in the painting to define herself. In the drawing, an electric eraser was used to create vertical texture. In the painting, the same effect using a catalyst wedge through wet paint. Titled after singer Sara Bareilles, I think this one took something old and made it new, too.

Carol! Yes, the modern version, I've decided, is Sara (after the singer in the video). I love her wild, abstracted hair, too!

Dotty! Yes, electric erasers (can be acquired on Amazon). Using it with broad, striking gestures in a drawing removes pencil (charcoal, whatever) and leaves amazing texture. I'll be using mine often! Thank you for noticing all the elements and the asymmetries - I am learning so much in the course with Pauline. More to come!!!
