i love fridays.   kristin and eva have set up a weekly

online party they call paint party friday.  i get to visit 

friends, see what they have been creating and if i am lucky,

they visit me as well.  





this week i have been working on a series.  i first applied

black gesso to boards.





then sketched faces on each.






i am going to paint and do pen work.






for now, i am letting them sit





and enjoy this friday.  



anyone who has never made a mistake

has never tried anything new

  1. Irene, this looks exciting! I've never worked with black gesso. I can't wait to see what you do with these fabulous sketches.

    1. hi faye, i understand that if you need to retouch some of the black gessoed areas, it is seamless and you cannot see where a demarkation of the previous layer. i like that!
