29 Faces #8

OK. I'm cheating a little. Well, not really, but this is not

up to my usual standards. Give me some slack. This is

the weekend.  I hope to do another face tomorrow but

this may be it till Monday.  This is simply a piece of watercolor

paper with stripes of color. I drew the face and surrounded her

with leaves I had stamped on cardstock and cutout. My 

queen of the forest is my #8 for 29 Faces Challenge.

29 Faces #7 and Paint Party Friday

This is being entered in two challenges:

29 Faces

Paint Party Friday

I found I had a small scrap of acrylic paper so I decided

to do a quick sketch with drawing pens. My oil pastels

were sitting there, unused because I sure don't know what

to do with them, but I tried. I used a little olive oil to spread

the colors around. I said it was a quick sketch - about 15 minutes.

Tomorrow is a busy day in and out of the house so it may be 

Saturday before I get to visit everyone.

Note: Please take off the captcha thing. I waste a lot of time

trying to figure them out when I could be off visiting someone's

beautiful artwork. Also, if you use Google+,  please provide a way 

for those of us who do not want to be in Google+ to leave you a comment.

29 Faces #6

Here is my watercolor of an native American girl, 

who will be my entry for 29 Faces,  #6.

I couldn't get her hair to get any darker.

Word Art Wednesday

Here is my entry for Word Art Wednesday.

The background is one of my oil paintings.

29 Faces #4 and #5

I'm trying my hand at one of my first male faces.

I used a photo but it doesn't look enough like it to

show. I've got a long way to go,  see. This is my

#4 face for 29 Faces Challenge.

And here is a grandma to go with the grandpa above.

She is done in watercolor pencils and water soluble

crayons (Neocolor II) whereas he was done using

my Winsor & Newton watercolors. This is my

#5 face for 29 Faces Challenge.

29 Faces #3

Here is my really rough sketch of a flyfisher girl in a trout stream.

This is my face for 29 Faces. I tried to visit 100% of the entrants.

Sorry, I can't get into the comment section if you use Google+.

And even after cataract surgery and subsequent 20-20 vision, I

have trouble reading those Captcha things.

29 Faces #2

This was done in watercolors on cheap watercolor paper.

This is my 29 Faces #2 entry.

29 Faces #1

I'm going to try to do Martha's 29 Faces Challenge.

This was a challenge because I just sketched onto  acrylic

paint paper and then painted in water soluble oil paints. Using

these paints for portraits is new to me. I only have 6 colors so

I had to do a lot of mixing.
