Been busy

I'm editing videos, and helping DH with an overload of work, so I have been busy with busy stuff, no time to paint for the next few days, but I'm sketching ideas, don't want my muse to think I'm not paying attention :oP

Notes to remember:

*7th anniversary giveaway HERE  (post about it/share it, get a gift!) There are ACEO cards, a Frida Kahlo mini painting, paperdoll... 7 gifts!

* September is around the corner (What??) get ready for 29 faces!

* Want to email me? I added a button, top right.

  3. 29 faces???? Yay! i loved playing along in May, though I only managed 8 faces, I still found the exercise valuable, trying out several things, I hadn't tried before.

    And many thanks for the video! I learned lots from watching it and have subscribed to your feed. Thanks so much for sharing your process.

    Wonderful artwork, too. I really liked your technique, particularly how you did the tonal work on her face.

  4. Thank you for sharing your video- it was fabulous to see all the layers you added to the hair and how they built up into such a fabulous look! I haven't joined your faces challenges yet (pesky work commitments) and both times I regretted it- so I am excited to be able to join in this time!

Have a great weekend and here's hoping it doesn't get too hot over there. 103 here yesterday, the same is expected today. I know where you are at is a lot hotter. Ayeeeee. Stay indoors with the AC on.:) Take care.

  14. It's so interesting to watch another artist paint. your 29 faces sounds good fun - I always come across blogs of other folk who join in. I don't paint human faces very often so not sure I'd be much good at it!

  24. Congratulations on your 7 year anniversary! Ive only bee in it for a year, but I had no comments during my first 9 posts, so I know what you mean. I love your work, and that little skeleton paper doll that you're giving away is really cool. Here's to many more years of blogging and having your artistic career continue to blossom. Blessings!

  28. Hello! Really enjoyed the video! I've just started trying to do faces, mainly women (mainly ATCs!) and it was really great to see someone filling in the shadows and highlights. Plus the painting looks really wonderful! I will have to check back to see about this 29 faces thing and also look up your youtube channel. :)
