Day 29, leap year

Well, this extremely fun 29 faces challenge has come to the last day, sadly.
I want to thank everyone that participated making art, and making blog visits and posting. Can't imagine a  better way to celebrate a leap year than with art (ok, maybe with chocolate too!) I made new friends, tried new techniques, admired the work of other artists. Pure joy!

For today, my face is a very lose and splashy beginning of a figurative painting. I didn't want to end the 29 faces challenge, so I am going to leave it in a work in progress, with the promise that there's more to come :o)


 

I also have another WIP, but in this case I worked on the background first, and sketched a figure later. 


This is not the end, it's the chance for another beginning :o) Don't stop painting/drawing/creating!
I am going to make a slideshow video with all my 29 faces, with all the WIPs finished. I will post it when ready, thank for visiting!

  7. Hi Ayala, I've certainly enjoyed this challenge, the first one I ever participated in. It amazed me how much work it was, because i thought I made art every day already. Well, turns out I didn't. It was great to meet all the other artists, and I'm sure I'll keep returning to some of the blogs I discovered. Thanks for organising this!

  11. Thanks so much for a great challenge!! I loved seeing all of your, and your daughter's, fun and wonderful faces.

    I really enjoyed the challenge, tried new techniques, sketched more faces than ever and think that as a result that my face sketching ability has improved. Thank you for that!
