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.
I like seeing the faces you are working on Terri
ReplyDeleteI do love the loose feel to this face... and the texture on the pages is amazing.

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

Wow, I just love the idea of painting on plaster - very Michaelangelo! It's a powerful piece - deserves to be on a wall being admired!
ReplyDeleteThis piece is stricking. I love your choice of colour also.
ReplyDeleteLove it! She is awesome. I like the idea of the gesso. Great job.
ReplyDeleteI have seen this way of painting on someone else's blog too. It really gives a great result.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful piece and lovely texture!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful effect and colours. Looks absolutely fantastic. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting technique! I'll have to try it out somehow, guess I will wander off some path of my own ;-)
ReplyDeleteI 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!
Ilona :-) xx
both of these are wonderful
ReplyDeletei keep looking at each one
each a joy to see, yet not the top one lives within the bottom one
That color adds so much to the painting! Looks great!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I LOVE this! Brilliant face and the colours are great.

ReplyDeletelove everything in this painting...the colors, the texture....so nice!
ReplyDeletethis is gorgeous! I love the colours you've used and drawing the planes of the face that way. It's really interesting how you use the plaster - I love the effect.
