Learning New Things

I decided this week would be spent trying to learn something new. I purchased one of Somerset's Magazines, The Art Of Paper And Mixed Media. There is an article on DJ Pettitt and one of her techniques for painting faces. I hesitated to share my first attempt, but I learned something and thought it was important. I sketched out this first face from my head and the picture at the bottom was scratched out from a photo. I could not believe the difference, so I will definitely work from a photo for reference. I spent no more than fifteen minutes on the drawing of each face( I really need to take a little more time) because I was anxious to get to the painting. I am going to incorporate this style of painting in my future dolls, so before that can happen I need to keep on exploring and playing in the paint. I hope everyone has a great weekend. I started cleaning up my computer room this week, so I am going to finish that up this weekend. I have discovered digital collage and am spending more and more time in this space.
