starting here with the 100 Faces/Inch Portraits...
with Sharon Tomlinson
she has an open forum on Face Book if you are
interested and perusing other artists attempting and
learning, MUCH about ourselves as well as our painting skills...
One Hundred Faces/Face Book
i found a most wondrous artist/painter woman of late...
Her name, Ahou Sicong 1939-1996
i believe she was a watercolorist and i fell in love with her work.
this is my rendition in acrylics as i looked on to one of her paintings.
Ahou Sicong painted so very simplistic but holds much emotion and depth with such pastel colors and so much of that for the era...my feelings and opinions ;)
i took some liberties here with this little inchie and her work!
this is a great time to try out some techniques I've been curious about...
dipping a fountain pen into inks...
adding a few acrylics
and then watercolor background that i started out with...
another little "inch" that i painted just now..
i am learning so much from these tiny paintings...
i shall thank you again Sharon.
i am finding more patience that i could ever believe having...
these are all MOST IMPERFECT and am leaving them just as they are
for my own now/future studies.
this is a FANTASTIC LEARNING trial for me and hope
that it will enhance YOUR own curiosities and skills...
now this one is in my Full Circle Class...
this is the start of her and the next is the finished product...
as much as i love COLORFUL, i am loving using just
few colors on some of these in my journal.
i named this, this morning;
WATCHING HER CHILDREN
Last up here;
a couple of journal pages...
painted and prepped for more quick, intuitive studies...
yes, i am LEARNING and LOVING it!
Wishing you all a GREAT WEEKEND!
