29 Faces – # 3

Today I tried copying a face from a magazine.

In addition I only used dry watercolour pencils, and deliberately left the hair as just an impression. She doesn’t look much like her original (can you guess who she is?), but I’m quite pleased with the result.

Finally finished!

Yes! – I have finally finished my game board for last weeks Life Book lesson from Kelly Hoernig.

I ran out of space on my board to glue my car, so I attached it to a hinge so that it could be flipped to see the board underneath.

I may add some flowers to the roadside later – I can’t decide at the moment!

Meanwhile the ingredients list! I used collage, white gesso, acrylic paint, Artist Cellar stencils, a home made mask, some ribbon, a button, a little jute, a uniball eye pen, some digital text, most of a cotton bud, plus some ink and hot glue.

I really enjoyed making this – thank you Kelly for a great lesson.

29 Faces – # 2

Here’s my face number two.

I drew her in pencil, then coloured her using acrylic paint and watercolour pencils.

I’ve been busy finishing my game board for last weeks Life Book lesson and hope to post it tomorrow.

29 Faces 2013

February is the month Ayala Art challenges us to draw 29 faces. I missed the February challenge last year, but took part in the May and September challenges and was amazed how the discipline of drawing faces every day for a month improved my face drawing and painting skills.

So here’s my first face for the challenge. Drawn in pencil then coloured using a mixture of watercolour pencils and acrylic paint.
