Inspired by Week #11’s lesson in Let’s Face It 2017. Thanks to Kara Strachan Bullock for a fun lesson!
Drawing
More Painting Fun…
Inspired by a lesson by Kara Strachan Bullock’s Let’s face It class from 2016. Finally got a chance to complete this so I can tackle 2017’s lessons. The writing on the left in both black and white is Lord Byron’s poem “She Walks in Beauty.” A few words of my own on the right with my signture.
Charcoal and Collage
Lesson 1 for Paint Your Heart and Soul; I liked using the Tan Paper by Strathmore. She was taking herself a bit too seriously so I added some extra floral collage bits from an old Romantic Homes magazine.
Paint, Pastel, Play!
My week #9 rendition of Juna Biagioni’s bonus lesson. I could spend more time on her but have decided to call her done. I enjoyed the process of working with acrylics, pastel pencils and oil pastels along with a black Stabilo pencil. Created on Arches cold press watercolor paper.
Love Drawing Faces…
Drew this face for lesson one of Fabulous Faces and then scanned the image and played around in Photoshop using colorful elements from Janine van Holthe for the AWAKE class. My 99 1/2 y/o Mom is declining and my hubby’s parents are also going through age/health issues so art time is a blessing!
Fractured Portrait ongoing lesson…
Step 2 of this Fractured Portrait lesson. Added some Open Acrylic paint; Stabilo marks and scraping. Good exercise in moving into a piece I liked in just the charcoal!
Dark Socket self-portrait underpainting
An under “drawing” created with vine charcoal for the Dark Sockets lesson of Fractured Portraits class taught by Kate M Thompson. It will be interesting to see what develops when the paints are added!
