THE 29TH FACE!

#29

Prismacolor pencils

Thank you to everyone who made such kind comments throughout this challenge. I feel like I really learned how to do a variety of facial features at least a little bit differently than I had been doing them in the past. I vow to continue to practice.

Back to gelli printing and painting.

The Queen

I got a bunch of new Prismacolor pencils this week (along with a bunch of other art supplies..I can't stop) and one of them is called a "clear blender" and it's great for blending shaded areas. I am tired of hair, I mean drawing hair, so I left it white.

Now I am wondering.... this was called 29 Faces, but there are not 29 days in February this year. So does #29 go on the first of March? Whatever... this was fun but I am glad it's over.

Stabilo pencil, watercolors

I finally got a Stabilo pencil, albeit it is kind of like a crayon: fat, short, stubby with a big tip, but it is pretty amazing because they can write on ANYTHING and they are water soluble. I made this face with the Stabilo, a black one and a white one. I am one face behind and I need to catch up. Maybe this will be a double post ..... later tonight. Whew, its almost over.

This is the final piece from Between Speech and Silence. I watched the videos again and repainted some sections then I added the beeswax (which smells so good when you're applying it). I like this one a lot better.

Acrylic background, oil pastels for the drawing.

It was really fun to use different media for a change. What I really love is Blick's Matt Varnish (water soluble). When applied it gives a very smooth thin leathery protective layer to your art.
