Inspired By Pablo Picasso

" Every now and then
one paints a picture that seems to have opened a door
and
serves as a stepping stone to other things."
PABLO PICASSO


29 Faces In May
Face # 18


This painting was created on paper, using a marbled technique.
Applied watercolor for the shading.
Added vintage paper for her features.

Mixing such mediums, was a challenge... I will admit.
Well worth the outcome!

Tell me... 
Do you like what you see?  


Face #18
This painting was created on a 
5" x 7" canvas. 

I enjoyed the process, 
and 
I will continue a few more paintings in this direction.
It just "FEELS" right. 

 Happy Saturday! 
Enjoy yourself... and make something that "feels" right.

  7. Hi April, I haven't been here in awhile. This face is just delightful. I love all of the color and the circles. I also like the idea of doing a face a day. I'm going to try it. Have a great weekend.
