more faces this week. this first one is done with stability pencils,
black and blue, white gesso and a red china marker
on watercolor paper. i like the simplicity and
challenge of using just a few products.
these next faces are done on
3 x 5 white index cards
with a micron pen
and spray inks.
they are easy
and fun warm ups. i do like
to warm up before diving into a
a larger project. what about you?
in the past, the warm up and project
were done on the same substrate. now if find
it fun to do them separately... just a little different.
have a lovely week. i post weekly on fridays
when i join eva and kristen and the paint party friday gang.
Fabulous art
ReplyDeleteYour faces get better and better, wow, really fabulous! Happy PPF, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteWonderful faces!
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely portraits ~ the first one has a very deep expressive face ~ all are well done ~ ^_^
ReplyDeleteI clicked on your site and seriously thought the first one was a self portrait. She looks just like you. LOL I am always so impressed that you work tiny. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Nicole. I also thought it was a self portrait. I love your portraits, Irene.
ReplyDeleteLuv the first one in black and white. My favourite this week. Happy PPF. Thanks for dropping by my blog today.
ReplyDeleteMuch love...
a lovely elegance in the fine lines.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Irene. ♥
Hi Irene Thanks for stopping by for PPF. I have started getting into watercolours and have done something similar to your faces here.
ReplyDeleteI am sitting here thinking how strong you are. You decided that portraits were going to challenge you and you have risen to the challenge by continuing to work on your skill. It shows how strong of an artist you are. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love all of your faces, but particularly the first one with the tiny pop of red. I couldn't stop looking at it! Happy PPF (I'm catching up a bit late).
ReplyDeletethis is amazingly well done, the scribble pen is so expressive and works perfectly to make the face unique. I absolutely love these. Visiting from PPF. (I sure wish I could do what you do with faces!)
ReplyDeleteLovely faces! I like to work on tiny ones too...my favs are 1st and 2nd. :)
ReplyDeletelove your background spots, they bring life to your sketches
