Day 12: One more face

I painted up a storm yesterday!
OK, it was not a storm, it was faces, but you know what I mean right? ho ho ho

This is how this one started:

  

I am very happy with the result! It is hard for me to keep a loose brush, so it was challenging and so exciting!  This is the first page in my new larger journal ♥

I made a small book to use for my 29 faces but so far I have not done more than one there,  will be posted tomorrow, along with all the other ones.

Can you believe we are almost at the end of the second week?

This is my 2nd post for today, the other one is a blog tip HERE (Blogger not letting people connect to post)

You did a great job on this face. I love the loose way you started which let the painting take a life of its own:)

Your work will always be successful. I do not know how to use
other than color pen.

She is beautiful. I also would like to know how to be looser with the brush. I love this girl's eyes.

Love the loose brush strokes here! I also often find it difficult to do, but it's good to keep practising and pushing our boundaries.
