FACES

 

STILL GOING ON THE SKTCHY CHALLENGE - 30DAYS/30FACES

 Some work out and just flow…others, not so much.  All a learning process.  No tracing, drawing directly and being okay with the result.

COLORFUL STUFF FROM THE PORTRAIT CHALLENGE

 

STILL DOING THE 30FACES/30DAYS

 This first one was done using just 2 colors - a warm red and a cobalt teal blue.

MORE SKTCHY PORTRAITS

 A few more done.  I am behind but okay with that - don’t need to do them all in a week or so…

The old sailor (looks that way to me) was done on mineral paper with a mix of Deep Mayan Blue + Lunar Earth (just a touch).  I was okay with it but wanted to try it on rough paper (which is what the teacher did).  Not crazy about it.  She used a Canadian brand of watercolor - Rockwell Lapis Brown and it was gorgeous.  Can I get that?  Will it cost a fortune now that we are having ridiculous tariffs imposed on Canada daily??

The first one of the old sailor I traced because I didn’t feel comfortable drawing it on the mineral paper (which probably don’t take much erasing).  The second one I drew - can you see how I ALWAYS draw the figure upright even though it is obviously tilted or has a strong head turn?  Why?  Why do I do this?
