Here is another pen ink study that I had mostly completed, but guess I got tired as I didn't get it all the way completed. We are having absolutely spectacular weather so it is tough to get into the art room. Good thing the pen and ink is portable and can easily happen on my lap. Got another nice pencil drawing book at the library so hoping to get some good tips and ideas out of it as well and already have tried some exercises on my ACEOs, so will post them as a group later. This pencil book focuses kind of on nature and landscapes which would be good and carry over into my pastel work too, I am sure. Thanks for stopping by and hope you have or had a great weekend.
Bold woman's portrait
Bold Ok, for today's portrait I went out of the box and decided to try a different look and approach. This is on watercolor paper, I applied a layer of paper collate over it (you can see that some of it started lifting - so got to use more medium to glue it next time) Anyway then I tried to leave part of that under collage showing, even in the face. Went back in and applied several more light lawyers of transparent and opaque paint and then put in the hair using my dagger bus. Gosh that brush makes hair so much easier While this might not the best example what are your thoughts to taking portraits this more dynamic direction? Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.
