Pencil and Wash

3 Faces Ready to Paint

| cathmary1030

I have finished up 3 faces and am ready to paint them. The first one is on an 11×14 canvas, which I toned with burnt sienna, and then drew in part in pencil last June. Finally finished off the drawing part using willow charcoal. The image is from a Let’s Face It 2018 portrait art “class” (more like an online art experience) from KaraBullockArt.

The second one is on a 9×12 canvas, toned with yellow ochre and clear gesso. I drew this on by hand also earlier this month, using willow charcoal. I’m not sure now where the reference image came from.

Lastly, the third face is based on a photograph I took, and traced on to 300-lb. cold-pressed watercolor, and given a wash of acrylic glazing medium, pyrrole red, and cad-free yellow medium.

I’ve got a lot on my plate for January and beyond.. I hope I’m not biting off more than I can chew!
