Remember this painting? I shared it as a WIP in this post. Yes, it's the one that had a face suddenly appear when I was drawing my undulating line. Excuse the shine there... I used gel medium to put on the newspaper headline. It'll all be a nice flat color before the surprises go on though.
I was deciding when and if I would paint the face and well .. tonight was the night for her. She aged with grace as I worked and her personality spoke to me.
We've talked a lot about skin tones and blending lately.. and if you look at this.. it's not blended. Nope. I dabbed and brushed the colors on and blotted with my finger. This is all acrylic so far.
I'll go back in with colored pencil for more depth, grit and definition.
You can kind os see where I planned her hair.. it may surprise you when it's finished. Like I said.. she's telling me what she wants and it's not what I wanted for her.. AT ALL!
Awesome. Love the color and texture of your background. I look forward to seeing her choice of "head dress".
