So here she is .... my second face painting! And I really like her! I like her more than the first one I posted the other day! I worked on it last nite. I am still not sure about collage elements because I overanalyze way too much but I like how the butterflies look. I used molding paste again on an 8x10 canvas board and 3 colors of paint for the background, 2 of them metallic. I also used colored pencils for some of the shading and details. I originally had her shirt yellow and then changed it as I thought it needed to pop more. As you can see I was going for some wavy hair and I hope I pulled it off!
Taking the photo was tricky because of the metallic background. I hope you can see the colors of the background. When you take photos of your art to share do you use a camera or scanner?
I notice that each time I finish a painting I fear that I won't be able to do another one as good. Is that silly or what?!
Another beauty!! I love her wavy hair...Yes, you can see it! And the butterflies were a great touch!!

She is beautiful, Cathy! Wonderful!! I love her butterflies and her pretty necklace! You are on a roll!!!
ReplyDeleteI totally understand that feeling that that was you last painting and now nothing more - I have that every time I finish a painting. What if this was it?! But then you sit at the next canvas and it flows again...
Have a most wonderful day!! Love, Silke
