This challenge is created by Ayala art and we're drawing / painting 29 faces in 31 days in the month of May.
That might be a challenge for me since I'm starting my Cotton Candy Girls Class on Monday. :) But I'll give it a try since I'm really determent to get some practice in with portraits.
Ok, I'm starting off with this Life Book lesson from Gritty Jane. You might have seen it already on my FB page last week. And yes! I'm cheating. :) But I wanted to start with something nice and lets count her in as one of the two extra days.
I had no sketch, just an outline. Then I started painting and she really wasn't looking good. I almost gave up on her but then I decided I need to push through, if I wanted to learn. So I did. :)
Registration for my Cotton Candy Girls On-line Workshop is now open. It's only 25$. Click on the banner to take you there. :)
She's reaaly beutiful! I'm starting 29 Faces, too. Will try to post every day.

The first face has turned out really well. I like to fullness of her face and lips.
ReplyDeleteWow! That is beautiful. There's something very "raw" about it and I love it.
ReplyDeleteYou are very generous and great first face!
ReplyDeleteI ove this face and can't wait to see more.
ReplyDeleteNatasha!! Look at what you did!! This is obviously a different style for you, and so different from your usual bright whimsical girlies....but, she is amazing, just the same!!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful result from your determination, imagination and natural talent!!
