The artist, drawing using the "kiss" technique, created a portrait of Marilyn Monroe with lips and lipstick (video)

The famous American abstractionist Jackson Pollock painted in the unique technique of “dripping” or “spraying”, the French artist Yves Klein created paintings with imprints of female bodies on the canvas , and the Australian artist Timothy James Francis Patch writes portraits using Penis-Art technique . There are a lot of techniques and methods, but the contemporary artist Natalie Irish from Houston, Texas, seems to have created something new. She writes paintings in an absolutely unusual technique of "kiss".

According to the British The Daily Mail , Natalya paints her lips with lipstick, and then touches them with the canvas. It is not clear how it turns out, but after a while thousands of prints left on the canvas from kisses merge into large, detailed portraits.

The video posted on YouTube shows in detail how Irish creates a magnificent portrait of Marilyn Monroe with lips.

Speaking about her unusual technique, the artist, said that even in the art school she tried to draw with fingerprints of the thumb of her hand: "But other artists also work in this technique, so I never felt that it was my style."

Once Irish, gathering for a party, and painting her lips with bright lipstick, took off her excess with a napkin. A bright print left on the napkin struck her. She realized that she had found something of her.

“I began to experiment and decided that Marilyn Monroe will be the best candidate for the portrait using the Kiss technique,” ​​Natalie said.

A similar drawing method is very laborious and physically exhausting. Not only are the lips quickly tired, they must be lubricated with hygienic lipstick, but the eyes also suffer: with a constant change of focus, when approaching the canvas, my eyes are very close.

On the site of Natalie Irish, some of her work are presented. And these are not only portraits created by lips, but also pencil portraits and landscapes. Natalie also works with ceramics, creating sculptures and vases. Creates an artist and design bags.

And one of her last works in the technique of "kisses" was a portrait of the legendary guitarist Jimi Hendricks. Natalie called this work "Influence", it was created in the style of the leading modern designer of the rock stars of Jermen Rogers.
