Gene Simmons Painting

Posted on 05/30/2010
Dear KISS, With it being so close to our school where I live our Art teacher decided to assign us a Pop Art style painting. I immediately knew the face I was going to paint. I went online and found an image of my idol Gene Simmons's head. With my teacher also being a fan she told me to do a picture of him with his face paint on. I found the perfect image of Gene and decided to flip to make my own art. I took the picture and traced out the dark and bright areas and then graphed it out. I then ,using the graph, transferred it to a larger piece of paper. I then placed the image face down onto canvas and took graphite and cover the entire back to transfer to image onto the canvas. Then I just simply painted the necessary places I mapped out. Ironicly I was wearing my favorite KISS shirt whenever my teacher took the picture. With Love and Respect, George Durbin p.s. Sorry that the image is a little distorted, the original image was to large to upload to the letter so I had to edit in paint.
