Selfportraits in the Rain... after

Maybe the rain didn't fall as hard as I had hoped...

Sunday I picked up the portraits I dropped off Saturday. For the most part the rain didn't leave much of a change, but you could see it in a few of them.

The "stop ahead" sign had the most obvious change, with most of the goauche washed off or dripping down the cardboard.

The mailbox pic got faded a bit.

... and you can see how the cardboard and paint have a changed texture in the phonebooth piece.

Otherwise the rest of them didn't have a very obvious difference.

I'll have to give it another shot sometime, and maybe for more than a night.

the rest of them are in my Flickr somewhere.

Self Portraits in the Rain. Before.

I've placed 10 of these selfportraits around the Capitol Hill/Eastern Market area of DC. I'm only planning on leaving them there for a day, as I want to see how they look after tonight's rain. The cardboard & blue gouache should get changed around a bit from the weather, while the gesso base should show the remains of the facial structure. Hopefully something interesting will happen.

All of my "Pre-Rain" pictures are here in Flickr.
