I used a limited color palette to create the main image as we were assigned. Once complete, I added in some additional mixed colors to create intensity. I used objects and utensils along with brush strokes to create the painting.

Linda Wettengel | “Niche”

Black and white painting of Josephine Baker smiling wearing white fur and a beaded dress, seen only by its strap. She has a 20s style finger wave with a single curl in the center of her forehead. Her eyes are dark with coal makeup and her lips are very dark as well in a theatrical style makeup for stage.
