 The Imagination of Stan Lee Acrylic on Canvas bigger than A3 (Sorry about the crappy photo quality)  This is a painting I did a while ago as a tribute to Stan Lees comic book creations. I am a big fan a comic books espeicially Marvel so I thought I should include him in one of my 'painting the famous' portraits. I tried to make it look as though his charectors were bursting out of his imagination. My original Idea was to do silhouettes of the charectors but it looked rubbish so I decided to paint them.  After I painted the charectors I put paper over them and splattering the canvas with paint. I then paint Stan Lee over the top of it (which isnt quite finished). I have a few other paintings which I will be putting on here as soon as they are finshed

(Sorry I havent posted anything on here for a while) So for my final major project I have decided to paint portraits. The title of the unit will be "Painting the Famous". The idea is to end up with half a dozen portrait of famous people who I find interesting and inspiring. This is my first idea which is a portrait of the famous film director Tim Burton along with a handful of his amazing creations. The first challenge was the colour scheme which I wanted to keep dark and gothic like his movies so I decided to prime the canvas with black before I started the portrait. It started out as a simple portrait which was only meant to be a practice for when I do it on a larger scale but I decided to take it further by adding charectors from his films which I think worked out quite well.  Acrylic on canvas (size is roughly A3) It took me about 4 days to paint   Im really glad with how this turned out and I am looking forward to starting my next portrait which I have ye
