I have always been intrigued with faces. . . real or created. I started doodling them as far back as I can remember. And not just faces but flowers, leaves, swirls, squiggles and letters as well. I never really thought my doodles were anything other than mindless scribbling as a means to keep myself occupied during classes, then meetings and lectures as I got older.

I never dreamed that someday I could actually call my scrap paper scribbles, art. . until I spent a day with Traci Baustia. She convinced me to just let go, that it was ok. . . So here I am on yet another journey. . artFace, a blog and a line of goodies created to celebrate all things face.

29 Faces - day 5

I've been feeling like I'm in the wrong group.
My group-mates all are wonderful artists, painters, charcoal users, watercolorists and I work primarily with fiber. Hmmmm.
So on a whim... (omg, I have so much other work to do)... 
I decided to see what I could whip up.


You want us to stretch outside of our comfort zone... 
ok, well this is it for me!

I cut a piece of heavy canvas, lightly sketched the face, colored in with Derwent Artbars (which I totally forgot I had),
oh-so carefully ran a slightly dampened brush over each color
to spread the paint, then added acrylic
where I thought it needed it. 
I like the messy, drippy, fusion nature, 
so I added more water... just for fun.

It needs more work,
but I need to sit back for a few days and figure out what....
or I'll just wait and add some stitching (ding!)
