29 Faces in September started yesterday. So today, I’m showing you my first two faces. One is a little sketch I did and the other I painted so it would qualify for Thirty Paintings in 30 Days.
First the Sketch
and now the painting for
My painted piece was inspired by one of Tamara Laporte’s lessons from Life Book 2015, which involved collaging and then painting over a face from a magazine. Fun! Fun!
Here’s a little detail of what I started with and what I ended with.
and the finished piece…
I love the soft colours in your painting and the girl has such a lovely, gentle face.
Your sketch is so delicate, she's wonderful. And I like that From This To This-pair, it shows interestingly the birth of a beautiful work.
I think I forgot to tell you that I love the raw sketch as well. Her face is so expressive.
She's great! Correct me if I'm wrong but I can definitely see some of Tam's influence in this young lady? I can also see your personal style coming through and it is all a beautiful combination.
Hi Jill and thanks! Yes, you do see Tam's influence. It's hard not to be influenced by her especially when doing her lessons. She is so talented and inspiring!
