29 Faces – Face 8
This
last week has been about people , their faces, as I am taking part in
the 29 faces in September Challenge at Ayala's. I have been painting
with acrylics and gouache. Only one face on the computer! The face
for today is a quick sketch in oil. She is Julie
a very determined friend. I now know what I am/have! While posting
my post at Paint Party Friday, I read an interesting interview about
Martha the lady behind Ayala. She said that she had suffered from
“Too many tools” syndrome. That's me! Click on the label 29faces
below if you would like to see
the other 7 faces.
White Flowers and Angels
For
some reason over the last few days I have wanted to experiment with
white. Thus these anemones above using the pastel tools in Corel
Painter. The white magnolia, I drew with coloured pencils.(I think I
got the centre slightly wrong, a bit off centre?)
I
have been thinking about angels lately and am convinced that I have
angels looking over me. When I found this scripture it was like a
light going on! God
will put his angels in charge of you to protect you wherever you go.
Psa 91:11 GNB
This
scripture inspired this work, it was done from a drawing and painted
in Photoshop.
Have
a great week creating lovely work.

Your work always amazes me, Sharon. My mother is an artist. Those genes didn't transfer but I have an appreciation for art.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful... I particularly love the anemones. I'm always amazes at the art that can be created digitally. That must take a lot of control. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteI love this face and hair...she reminds me of a hippie girl friend from my long ago past.

Lovely artwork!
ReplyDeleteHi there, beautiful work! I really love the coloured pencils!! Such beautiful detail in that one well done! :0)
ReplyDeleteHey there--love the white flowers! (I wouldn't have noticed anything about it being off-center though!) Ad I like that you're using that non-color a lot in your work. It took me a while to get comfortable using lots of white when I started painting, but you really do need to use a lot of it. Otherwise things get kinda muddy-looking.
ReplyDeleteGreat face for the challenge, Ilove the colours you have used
ReplyDeleteYour artwork this week is lovely. And I'm SO loving the flowers in the vase. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteArt work is style is wonderful ~ love the expressive face and can relate to too many 'art tools' ~ am gradually getting more focused ~ (A Creative Harbor)
ReplyDeletebeautiful work Sharon, and nice face!
ReplyDeleteWonderful work this week! I especially love the magnolia. I'm originally from MS, so I am very familiar with magnolias and this one is a beauty!
ReplyDeletewow, great work on the anemones. I like the portrait very much. My favorite is the magnolia!
ReplyDeleteboth the digital flowers and your pencil one are just lovely... white is such a challenge, but it looks as though you have handled it beautifully...xx
