Day 26 and Face Number Sixteen
This is a mixed media piece. I used watercolor, acrylic, collaged elements, stencils and ink. I’m really happy with the way it turned out. You Are A Gift by Tori Beveridge Thirty Paintings in 30 Days – Day 26

Day 25 and Fifteenth Face
September is almost over. Halloween will be here before we know it. I’m getting in the spirit early with this Little Witch. Little Witch by Tori Beveridge Thirty Paintings in 30 Days – Day 25
Day 24 and a Fourteenth Face
My painting today is another atc/aceo and was done with watercolor, white acrylic and black ink. Thoughts by Tori Beveridge Thirty Paintings in 30 Days – Day 24
Day 20 – Portrait of Anne
Today’s painting started as another exercise in putting splotches of watercolor on the paper, then seeing what emerged once it dried. I started with the purple and the peach and the blue came after I saw her face emerge, to give her a hat and a dress. Details such as eyes, mouth and nostrils were […]
Day 19 Another Face
I just finished this painting. It’s still wet. It will look much different in the morning when it’s dry. It’s actually the second painting I did today. The first was a watercolor and it was really really really bad. I debated about posting it, but I decided that it really was too horrible to post. […]
Day 18 and My Eleventh Face
Today’s painting was a bit rushed but I finished it! Phew! It’s an aceo/atc sized mixed media piece, using tissue paper, gesso, acrylics, Faber Castell gel sticks, the stickered saying and Pitt artist pens. Be Brave by Tori Beveridge Thirty Paintings in 30 Days – Day 18
Day 17 and A Face
I set aside the watercolors today and reached for my acrylic paint. I was in a floral kind of mood, but I also knew that I am waaayyy behind in my 29 Faces in September. What to do? How about a face peeking out from behind the flowers? She’s partially hidden, but I think she […]
Day Fifteen – Another ‘Drippy’ Watercolor Face
Yes, another watercolor face today. I had to do one more, because yesterday’s was so enjoyable for me to paint. I was definitely much more relaxed while painting this one. She marks the half way point in Thirty Paintings in 30 Days and my ninth face for 29 Faces in September 2014. Another Face by […]
Day Fourteen is My Eighth Face
Today’s painting found me playing with watercolors again. I think I’m actually getting more comfortable with letting the paint drip and run and blend and do it’s own thing, very difficult for a stay within the lines type like me. A Face by Tori Beveridge I would like to do a few more similar, so […]
Day Twelve of Thirty and a Seventh Face
I kept it simple today, with this postcard sized mixed media, watercolor, acrylic and ink portrait. Wonder by Tori Beveridge I stamped over the first coat, then used a brayer to cover the whole thing with white acrylic, then I went back in and repainted. The word, wonder, was then added and I detailed with […]
Day 11 of Thirty in Thirty and a Sixth Face
I have two very contrasting pieces of art for you today, a digital piece and a watercolor piece. Warrior Princess is a digital piece, done in Poser, Paint Shop Pro and Photoshop. She is my sixth face for 29 Faces in September 2014 and is also my artwork for this month’s Enchanted Visions theme of […]
Day 10 – Thirty Paintings in 30 Days and Face 5
So far, so good! I’m ten for ten! I am, however, a little behind in my 29 Faces, so today’s painting, I knew had to be a face. I used another advertising magnet as my canvas. As before, I applied a layer of gesso first and then got out my acrylics and painted this cute […]
