Paint Party Friday - Sketches

I've continued to do faces everyday.  I seem to be sketching this week. These are the three latest ones. Two of these sketches are ones I initially started and abandoned.  I just got my eraser out and started over again.  The second time they seemed to work out better. So my advice is to pull out that abandoned art and give it another chance.




















Sketch no. 10 for the month so far.

This was from an add for paint chips. The woman's mouth was more open but I could not make it look right so I adjusted it a little.

Here I am attempting a pose and remembering my mother.  My perspective is off on the table but that is not a strong point for me, so I am not surprised at that.

Although there is not any paint involved here I am still linking to Paint Party Friday. Have a great day!

Oh something more to add and their is paint involved.  I am in April Cole's group on Facebook and we are doing paper dolls. Not my usual thing but I remembered I had a paper doll template from Misty Mawn's book Unfurling. So I thought I would play along.

So I made a copy of it by printing on watercolor paper. This is the original doll.

Then I made some clothes for it. This dress is made from a mono print I made on my gelli plate. I just loved the print, in fact I would love to have this dress.  I love all the mix of colors.

This one is made from embossed wallpaper that I also printed on my gelli plate. A little ribbon added and a button and I think its a cute outfit. I tried making shoes but they would not stay on the doll so I just painted her feet with a brush marker.
