Facing Faces Class ReCap

I had the honor of hosting 12 women in my studio during a recent Meetup class called "Facing Faces."  

We started class by talking about the "ins and outs" of faces, and did some loose sketching on color copy paper (which I like because the pencil moves very nicely on it).

We practiced using color with Portfolio Pastels on map pages from an old atlas. 

 And then we created backgrounds using acrylic paint and stencils, and created unique and whimsical portraits.

I love that no two faces were alike! 

 Here's the one I started in class, and finished the next day.

I used stencils by MaryBeth Shaw, Kae Pea, and Mary Nasser for the background and silver accents.  Here's a video of some of my process.



You can also watch "Facing Faces with Jessica Sporn on YouTube" here.

I'm still considering whether to add some text to her... what do you think?

I will be teaching some of these techniques in my upcoming class at Art is You called "Paint Your Perfect World."

I hope you will check out my class, and all of the other wonderful workshops at Art is You.

Plus, if you live in the northern NJ area, check out my Meetup group for upcoming classes.  There are 6 people max, so it's a great way to get lots of individual attention!  And there's easy access from Manhattan too.

Your comments make me so happy and let me know you were here. I read and treasure every comment and will happily answer any questions as soon as I can.
