Magritte's Scheherazade

Finished the Magritte's Scheherazade piece!

He did so many versions of this piece and I was just fascinated by them.  It was between the beach scene and this one.   I really liked the Dark Tower in the background and the surreal aspect of the landscape on this version.

I started with a to scale drawing to get the facial features and proportions right.













Then started the painting in class.  I wanted to leave space for the three dimensional aspect of the beads.



I took a picture of it in class when the beading was done and immediately saw one that I missed.  See it?

I couldn't resist taking this picture.  We put up our pieces around the class when they are finished and mine happened to be next to this painting.  Love the contrast!

There!  Now the beading is fixed.
