Face #13.

Just playing around with watercolors again.

Face #12. Mixed Media.

This started out as a couple of magazine scraps glued to a piece of paper. I could see a face shape, piece if hair, and scarf  in the lines and shadows and just followed along with it.

Face #11. Wooden Doll.

I carved this doll out on a lathe today. Seriously!
Well, I did at least 50% of the work.
These things are going to be the new Little People!

Face #9. Watercolor Self-Portrait.

I've wanted to try painting a portrait for probably..... 10 years? For some reason this is the first time I've actually done it! Yay for my 365 project.

I have to be honest, I really didn't feel like creating a face today.

But I did it because of you.

Yes, you.

And I'm glad that I did.

Face #3. Blind Contour Drawing.

I drew this blind contour of my husband in the dark. He just got back from an emergency visit with the eye doctor to get a tiny speck of metal out of his eye. Ouch.



Face #2.5. Self Portrait.

I did this one last night before bed. I guess one face a day just isn't enough for me! ;)

Graphite and colored pencil.

Face #2. Collage

This fellow's face is made entirely of scraps from an old Lucky magazine.

Face #1.

One thing that I have been learning as an artist is how to admit to myself that something isn't working. Sometimes it's ok to go back, erase, or start over. It may seem like a bummer or like I wasted my time, but none of it is a waste, because it's all a learning process!
Today I'm admitting that I need to start my 365 days over. It's been great so far, but it would be better if I had a theme - something to start with every day.
Something I love.
....
So here is the new beginning to my project:

365 Faces.
