Paint Party Friday - acrylic paintings

Here is one I did this week in acrylics after I found some peach colored
paints to use as the base for skin. Below is another acrylics painting I did
this week where I had to dream up skin color from the limited colors I own.
These are my entries for Paint Party Friday this week.

The first one has such intensity sparking in her eyes..and love the whole color palette..of pumpkin orange glow and yellows..such fantastic energy...her skin is also so life-like and vibrant..wow-factor! and the second painting is peaceful and has such a deeply serene feeling and different kind of energy..very gentle and soulful..and the brushstrokes are amazing..gorgeous work!

  15. Hi Faye,

    Where there's a will there's a way and you achieved two very different skin tones. I like both of the faces and their lovely features.

  25. It's amazing the difference a change of skin tone makes. They definitely look like sistere, even though each has her own personality.

  26. Wonderful!! They do look very similar, are they the same person? Mixing paints is an art form itself!

  30. Hi Faye, What bright eyed ladies! You know, I do not know how to mix paints so I use my paints directly from the bottle! Or maybe I am just too lazy! Good for me, I found some flesh paints at a sale for just 11 cents a bottle. The store was going to close down. :^( Happy painting! Patsy from

    Love your header, too. Spring will be here, eventually!
