Here are all the faces of this week:
Day 1: graphite with black marker
Day 3: experiment: I took a double page in an old book, put some paint on there and then closed the book while the paint was still wet. Then I searched for a face. Not difficult to find with all that hair ;-)
Day 4: the opposite mirrored page of day 3, here I could see the profile right away
Day 5: another watercolour:
And finally day 6: just trying out different hairstyles. Not very happy with this one, but hey, it's a face :-)
That's it for this week! I had wanted to continue on a new big canvas, but alas, time is escaping me. I did however start experimenting with examples for my Soul Food Lesson in April. That was fun! I only hope I still know how to videotape everything ....
You can still subscribe for Soul Food if you want. The first 2 lessons were aired this week, but all videos are downloadable and available till the end of the year. And even though time flies, that is still a long time away :-)
I am linking this to Paint Party Friday and to 29 faces challenge. Both are exciting challenges/bloghops with lots of wonderful artists. You can participate if you want, or just enjoy all the art on display.
Thanks for visiting and leaving these lovely comments! I wish you a joyful day, and time to enjoy a relaxing weekend ♥ ♥ ♥
Your faces are fantastic, one more beautiful than the other. Valerie

ReplyDeleteWonderful faces! My fave are 3 and 4. I have been out of the bloggy world for a few weeks and forgot that 29 faces was in feb, have done 3 faces for my post today maybe I will join in?
ReplyDeleteAll your faces are wonderful but i really love Day 1!!
ReplyDeleteAll your faces are beautiful. I can't pick a favorite.
ReplyDeleteI missed this challenge this time. Maybe I can try in September.
Happy PPF
Gorgeous, every one! I love the birds too!
ReplyDeletesuch gorgeous faces and interesting ones too
ReplyDeletethey are each a joy to see.
I am a face behind for the first week so I am going to do two today. Love seeing all of these lovely faces! I have to try the two pages sandwiched together with paint technique - love it!
ReplyDeleteAll your girls are beautiful, you do a great job creating them!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!

They are all so lovely but I especially like the first face with that awesome black hair. Super fun seeing your faces! Thanks for sharing, happy Paint Party Friday :)
ReplyDeleteTam
I love the variety of faces you have created, and I admire anyone taking this challenge-still too hard for me to do! I really love the last one with her hair blowing across her face.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful variety.
ReplyDeleteThe first is remarkable, such a sensitive face and the black black hair, the fifth is so skilful, painted in watercolour, and I like the birds in the third and fourth. I like all the faces very much, really.
I love the way you are always experimenting, trying out new techniques and inspiring others along the way with your beautiful creations :)
ReplyDeleteHi Denise. Fantastic work. Love them all. Looks like you've been busy.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!! My favorite is the first one - love all the black!
ReplyDeleteYour faces are full of personality, my favorite is number one, because it's black and white, it's edgy and effective!
ReplyDeleteI think I missed both watercolor girls, they are so pretty! That Day 4 profile with the birds is my favorite, SUCH a sweet face! Love it.
ReplyDeleteI love how the 3rd and 4th faces turned out, the thin lines on the background are awesome, thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteWonderful - and that graphite and black marker portrait is SO dramatic!!
ReplyDeleteVery fascinating paintings! Especially I am interested with painting with a book. I'll try that myself :-)
ReplyDeleteI love your faces. You are one of the most colorful artists around and I think the faces in color are fab, especially the watercolor ones. However, there is something about face #1 that really grabs my heart. I hope you will show more graphite and marker drawings.
ReplyDeleteLove all your faces, but the ones that are most like your painting I adore. xox
ReplyDeleteAll are super cool Denise. Each with it's own personality. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI love each one, but #1 and 3 are my favs! and I simply can't wait for your class at Soul Food!! hip hip hooray!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThese are all so cool! A large majority of my art is done like you did the third and fourth one! My favorite is number one, she is a real artist and I love those dreads!! Wonderful as always!
ReplyDeleteHugs Giggles
Wonderful faces that all!
ReplyDeleteDenthe, i love day 4! The one with the little white bird. Your work is always so interesting. I love coming here for a visit. Have a great week, my friend! xx
ReplyDeleteThe one you don't like I love. Her hair is like rain and it's like the sun is coming through in her hair...like sunshine on a cloudy day but with emotions, bringing her hope. Very deep piece depending on how you look at it. Your faces are all beautiful, btw.
ReplyDeleteGreat progress on the challenge! I especially like the profile in the painted book page.
