#10 of 29 Faces

Interweave - Cloth, Paper, Scissors, has little PDF art lessons for $1.99.  They are great for learning a new technique or for inspiration.  They usually include a short video or two.  Http://www.interweavestore.com/mixed media.

Today's face was inspired by Jane Davenport's Looking for Drama.  She started out by using, decorative, napkins to collage the base, then worked with, paint pens, gesso, and other bits of paint and pencils.  

I plan to invest in some better paint pens.  Jane uses Montana.  The only one that I have is a white Sharpie that leaves big blobs of watery paint everywhere.

So here's #10.  I need to start thinking about #11 now.

Peace,

#8 of 29 Faces

Okay, it's the 20th and I'm on #8.  Wil I make it?  That's 21 more faces - I just don't know, but I'm going to keep going.  I just did this one while sitting out here watching my chickens chase grasshoppers.  

And here are the lovely slippers that I'm wearing!

What happened to my winter?  My peach tree is already blooming.

Peace,

#6 and #7 of 29 Faces

Now, I admit this was a quickie while watching TV.  But it IS still a face.

Here's a 10 X 10 inch painting, using stencils, delusions ink, and collage for the background.  I used acrylic paints for the face.  The hair has a little molding paste to give it some texture.  I went a little nuts with the yellow hair.

Here's #5 - Ribbon Hair Woman

I just realized that there is a dot under her bottom lip.  Let's pretend that is a piercing.

Peace,

#2 of 29 Faces

Just a quick drawing.  This was a Maybelline mascara ad.  I need to work on this some more.  It's pretty rough, but I need to catch up if I'm going to make it to 29.
