Preliminary sketch..

...for a new painting. It will be smaller compared to the last one. As you might notice, I am fascinated by clown make up. It's my way of expressing human fragility. But on the other hand, theres a certain level of autonomy and individual expression. Just as goths might want to show this when they dress up or a girl and her favourite lipstick. I think vulnerability and power go hand in hand.

I would make the teardrops less symmetrical -- 2 and 3

Hi Brian!

Im going to leave it symmetrical because that was my idea originally. I like to see symmetrical elements in artwork particularly in patterns on clothes. I want to explore this abit more in my work.
Lets see how it goes and whether or not I should have taken your advice!
