MASKIES
At the onset of the pandemic in the US, when people started to use masks to protect others and themselves, we noticed in social media how our friends and the people we follow would share selfies wearing masks and doing it with an understated sense of pride. We sensed a positive intention behind the “maskies.” In addition, we realized masks became creative mediums onto themselves, and when mainstream designers caught on that trend, masks became the most popular fashion accessory in the world.
But this is not a happy-ending tale. Stoked by fear, anti-masker groups burst onto the stage. They took the spotlight with their angry outbursts and toxic actions, deceitfully flipping science into political demagoguery, and endangering everyone’s safety. Wearing a mask has now become a political statement amid a new culture battle.
And so we deemed opportune right now to show which side of history we want to be associated with by making a maskie the subject of our paintings, because we believe in science, and we care for others.
• Painting premise: self-portrait wearing a mask.
• Props: take a pic of yourself wearing a mask and use the image as reference for the painting.
• Painting surface: any size, any kind. We recommend 9x12 or under.
• Painting webinar medium: oil over cotton paper. Feel free to select your media.
