Unique Mixed Media Portraits by Geri G. Taylor

For many years, I've been trying to find my own style of art.

I've always loved drawing faces but leaned towards a more "caricature" style versus realism.

Experimenting with a combination of my original pencil sketch combined with editing software, I came up with this mixed media portrait.

Now I'm accepting commissions on my one of kind portraits.

Accidental Art, Photoshop, and Other Ways to Make You Smile!

Although fun, I don't usually transform someone's photo into a "Glamor Shot" with Photoshop Elements9 but I did find the opportunity to touch up an "oops" image when my subject turned quickly to swoosh her hair and I captured this shot.  I though her eyes looked great (which they usually do) SO..... I had a little fun with this "Accidental Art".



 My subject had been dancing and developed a bit of a glow in the 95+degree late afternoon Louisiana heat.

This is the image that follows the oops.

Some touching up.

I took over 1200 shots in a 4 hour shoot.  She had 5 outfit and hair changes.

and a little bit of airbrush work.

I added a layer with a FRESCO filter
