Femme de feu III final ... Still looking for a balance between marks, drips and blobs!

I'm still having a wrestling match with my new approach incorporating "designer" drips and marks...


The idea is to introduce these destructive elements while retaining convincing realism and balance. In a way, I want to get closer to the art from the street and the freedom that that implies. To be successful, every move needs to be bold and decisive... freshness is of the essence with raw canvas. Things are likely to get worst before they get better!

Update: I pushed it a little further to see if a better balance could be achieved, the idea being to emphasize the head as focal point...


Some more key learnings emanated from that exercise...
