Painted Pages: Alisa Burke & Basquiat

I started an online course called Studying Under the Masters III on Jeanne Oliver's Creative Network last May. I took a pause from this class (which is the beauty of taking online courses as many are self-paced with lifetime access) for a month or so, and recently got into it again. I went straight to Alisa Burke's lesson on Basquiat (take a sneak peek at her lesson here). 

And here is my first attempt:

Painted page before

Painted page after. Still needs more...

I love this messy and expressive way of painting. I was so inspired, I created my own version of another of his paintings which I will share soon.
