Diamonds are a girl's best friend. 💎💎💎

Iz naslova možete predpostaviti koga ću nacrtati. 😍
Da, Merlin Monro. Bila je inspiracija mnogim umetnicima, danas i meni. Prvo što nam padne na pamet, sigurno je čuveni triptih Endija Vorhola začetnika Pop Arta, zar ne? Verovatno jer je uneo neobičnu magiju bojama i poigrao se likom Merlin Monro na potpuno svež način. Endija pominjem jer ova moja ima sličan stil ali nimalo nisam imala nameru da bude tako. Moja Merlin je bazično radjena kafom, obojeni detalji su samo moja potreba da je našminkam na svoj način.
Dakle, uživajte!

From the title you can guess who I will draw. 😍
Yes, Marilyn Monroe. She was an inspiration to many artists, including me today. The first thing that comes to mind is surely the famous triptych of Andy Warhol, the founder of Pop Art, right? Probably because he brought an unusual magic to colors and played with the character of Marilyn Monroe in a completely fresh way. I mention Andy because mine has a similar style, but I never intended it to be like that. My Merlin is basically made of coffee, the colored details are just my need to make her up in my own way.
So enjoy!

Počela sam sa dva paralelna portreta. Bila je to simultanka kao u šahu. Eksperimentisala sam jedno vreme. . .

I started with two parallel portraits. It was a simultaneous game like in chess. I experimented for a while. . .

U početku desni portret nije bio loš, ali sam na kraju zabrljala. To vam neću pokazati. 😅😉
Nastavila sam sa portretom sa leve strane, sad već znajući šta i kako ne treba da radim.

At first the right portrait wasn't bad, but I messed up in the end. I won't show you that. 😅😉
I continued with the portrait on the left, now already knowing what and how not to do.

Portret sa leve strane je obećavao. Shvatila sam nakon puno uradjenih slika, da mi je svaka slika nekako lepša do pola, ne završena, minimalistička. Zašto? Nisam sigurna ali povezujem to sa rečima Rudolfa Štajnera, pedagoga ali ne SAMO pedagoga.
Štajner je rekao da lutka deteta ne sme da izgleda estetski savršena već da ima samo naznake. Objasnio je svoju ideju toga. Lutka treba da bude skromna, od nekih lopta čarapa sa samo dve mrlje očiju. Zašto? Jer dete treba intelektualno da se napreže, zamišlja jako bi ta lutka mogla da izgleda. Slažem se. Moja Merlin je daleko od toga a opet nekako nedovršena i baš takva mi se svidja.

The portrait on the left was promising. I realized after taking a lot of pictures, that every picture is half as beautiful to me, unfinished, minimalist. Why? I'm not sure, but I associate it with the words of Rudolf Steiner, a pedagogue, but not ONLY a pedagogue.
Steiner said that a child's doll should not look aesthetically perfect but only have hints. He explained his idea of ​​it. The doll should be modest, made of some balls of socks with only two patches of eyes. Why? Because the child needs to exert himself intellectually, he imagines how that doll could look. I agree. My Merlin is far from that and yet somewhat unfinished, and I like it that way.

I nemojte slikaru nikada reći kako nije kao sa fotografije jer mi nismo fotografi nego slikari. . . 👋

And don't ever tell a painter that it's not like a photo, because we're not photographers, we're painters. . . 👋
