Selfportrait as Red Riding Hood




A few days ago I decide to smash my piggy bank and invest in a great tool for artist: a beamer! Excited to go to work I picked a picture of myself years ago and beam and portray it like Red Riding Hood. I loved to work this way. Actually I lent some ways of working of lessons in etching. First I made a red surface, painted white over it, and while it was still wet I scratched out the outlines, I am still in doubt if it is maybe too subtle...
