29 Faces #6

This drawing is an exercise from an online class I'm taking from Kate Thompson at the The Trodden Path, where you draw the actual planes of the face.  It's done in my fabric journal (also a Kate Thompson class), on a page that's covered in plaster and distressed.

And here it is painted with watercolor, gesso and alcohol inks. Really fun and a nice, much more loose and abstract change of pace from my last painted face.

  1. I like seeing the faces you are working on Terri













    I do love the loose feel to this face... and the texture on the pages is amazing.

  2. I love her colors and the sketch, dear Terri. The work with Gesso is also perfect, to gave her tension and life.

  9. This is an interesting technique! I'll have to try it out somehow, guess I will wander off some path of my own ;-)
    I very much like your drawings, I generally like drawings, pencils have some clearness over them, there is focus on the form and it gets distracted through color, which expands beyond its boundaries.
    But of course we want color in our paintings and in our lives! And of course I use colours!

    Thank you for visiting and for your compliment!
