I'm teaching a "Facing Faces" class in my Meetup Group on Sunday. I have some pretty amazing artists coming, so I figured I better do a little practicing myself! Using an old photo of myself as a guide, I created a 9 x 12 canvas that went through lots of ugly stages, as most creations do.
The stencil on her top is the Paisley Floral Repeat from Stencil Girl.
You can watch the whole process of Painting an Impressionistic Face on YouTube or right here!
Does painting faces scare you? It used to scare me. But thanks to lots of YouTube tutorials and classes, I can approach them with an explorers mind.
One of my classes at Art is You will expand on some of these techniques. It's called "Paint Your Perfect World." If you can make it in October, check out my classes and all the amazing offerings at Art is You!
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.
