Phyllis Cohen Experiments

After looking at the work of Phyllis Cohen I wanted to get creative and adapt her ideas to fit my theme. The images I have uploaded do not display a look for my final shoot but simply a very experimental session in the studio. There where things about the make up I applied that I like, for example the short black brush strokes over the majority of the face, because although its very simple from far away its is striking and effective. However, the black lines I applied were hard to get level and hard to achieve a sharp edge therefore less effective that I wanted. Looking ahead if I wanted to achieve these lines I would need to make a stencil.
