GO TO PROCESS
Given the opportunity to replicate an
older art piece from the 20th century, I
chose my hand at a piece within the Art
Nouveau movement. Alphonse Mucha
is one of the major players within
that movement and has inspired me
to accomplish his artistic illustration skill.
I chose this piece to replicate because of
the playfulness of the subject and the
colors used within the artwork.
The original was completed with a
lithographic procedure. I chose to make
my replica with Prismacolor markers and
Prismacolor coloring pencils.
When I first saw Alphonse Mucha’s work,
I always wanted to try my hand at his
lush-fluid style of illustration. I believe I
emulated it well and focused on the major
characteristics and details in his work.
