Creative Heart Monday - Acrylic Whimsical Face - "Woman"

Happy Creative Heart Monday!!

Today, I'm painting a whimsical face, but I'm using a new technique (new to me, at least).  I saw Christy Sobelewski use this technique in her, online, class - Painted Faces 2.  I can imagine so many uses for this.  It's very easy....just acrylic paint and dishwashing liquid.  But, you end up with a rainbow of colors.

I did have a little mishap while recording this video.  While applying the third layer to the hair, I knocked over the bottle and was unable to show the entire process on that layer.  However, it's exactly like the first two hair layers, so you're not missing anything pertinent.

Here we go............

Beautiful Faces.....Again!

I just re-watched the Jane Davenport video on drawing faces.  I, originally, watched it a couple years ago.  In the mood to try faces again, I figured that I needed to "brush up".

Here's my most recent.

This is the first one that I tried a couple years ago.  My backgrounds needed a lot of work at that time.

One that I'm working on now. (kind of looks like an alien)

And, a couple pencil drawings that I did on the plane a few weeks ago.

That's it.  My favorite things to use for a face are the Prismacolor Pencils.  They have beautiful colors, blend well, and can make, even a neophyte artist (like myself) look like they know what they are doing.

Peace!
