A little hint of where my blog is going in August!
For my sister, we have been studying men faces for drawing. I found this in my stash. They all look grumpy and mean. I pick #5 even though he has facial hair, which I usually don't like. I hate mustaches on their own. Any one out there feel the same?
Long face shape, love the gray green eyes. They all seem so bored? hehe I have blended the colors of the face with paint so you can see the difference. The other two I added more colors and haven't been painted on yet.
Heart shaped face with eyes to match her dress.
I tried to get a younger girl look with round face, I think her hair will be black. As soon as I learn how it is done!
The drawing class evolved into color with pencils.
The colors are bright now but will calm out a bit as the paint and glaze is applied.
This book is filled with color pics on all pages.
I am very timid but, if I can learn to draw it would be easy to take art with me every where.
I have only began putting down some gesso and back grounds. Love the painting and adding some collage pictures and papers. More gesso and working with some water soluble wax pastels for shading. I wonder if they make a gesso that dries faster. I won't complain as the summer here in AZ. provides fast drying. The acrylics almost set too fast. Here are the insides below!
I have tattood eye liner. I have hardly any eye lashes so it seemed the thing to do. Now they have some medicine to make your lashes grow. Side effect, maybe irises turning brown. No way, I have green eyes with an uncommon yellow ring. I wouldn't want to goof up natures art! I love these gals though. By the way,I am almost done with "On the Road" and am enjoying it very much. I am a slow reader by nature.
I am getting all my Atc's done for the next couple of month trades so I will have time to start a drawing class. Do I draw? Not yet. Pictionary is the only drawing I have done. Mostly stick figures. So... a class is called for. Looking forward to it.
I have had this started and finally got to it this morning. I usually shy away from western, (not my style) but this girl on a picture I really liked. I was most pleased with the outcome of the hat. I have an old piece of velvet trim waiting to go across the bottom.
Love this pick all though this weather would ruin a few picnics around here. Arizona could use some rain like this.
The subject is black and white with a little red.
