I am happy I got another face painted in my journal. I hate this one and I love this one. I was so unhappy with how she was turning out using a more traditional skin tone, so I decided to let loose and just give her some funky color. I am loving how that part turned out. I hate her lips. I really have to work on the lips. Not on this one anymore....but hopefully over time.
Wow Loveing the colors you choose....I think her lips are perfect! and her hair is great, I can never do hair, I also like the eyes,I like how they look to the side, Great job
ReplyDeleteI think she's lovely! And I love the idea of using the different skin colors.
ReplyDeleteShe looks kinda, well, thoughtful, in a serious way. Glad you are back at it! hmm, maybe she's wondering what's been keeping you! 8^)
ReplyDeleteAnother face. I like it but think that you don't because she looks a little sad.
ReplyDeleteThe colors are yummy, great idea! She does look a bit forlorn.
ReplyDeleteHow smart of you to say, "Not on this one," and to let any changes go until the next piece. It's a good artist who knows when to stop. There's always another work waiting around the corner. And this one looks perfectly finished to me.

love watching your creative mind create!
ReplyDeleteThe more abstract, the better. You know what one artist said about the arm of a young guy on his painting (was it Cezanne?) "This arm is so beautiful it just can't be long enough."
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the faces by Alexej Jawlensky?

ReplyDeleteWhen I was in figure drawing my prof pointed this out the lip has 5 sections....
