Mixed Media Play 2



I have a little video to share this week. I didn't start the recording until I started her face this time. She turned out paler than my norm, but I think it works. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
I'm sharing this for Paint Party Friday. :)

    Wow that video is something else. It is always so surprising to me that for someone who paints faces/people that they(you) know what colors to put where and have the confidence to know that putting black on the neck will come out being the perfect shade once you are done. I would freak putting a color such as black or purple or brown (as I commonly see) on the face, yet people such as yourself seem so at ease with it!!! I am comfy in my abstract with anything and so wish I could be with portraits - even if they were abstract. I admire what you have done - she is gorgeous - I love the kinked hair and the color of her full lips. The eyes are so prayerful. Just stellar. You have a fan! HPPF and a wonderful weekend to you. xox
