day 10 of 29 faces

I gave the Leonardo inspired lady a layer of ochre and added some charcoal.Then I thought she needed a spark of color and the poor thing ended up looking like she is wearing a dead eggplant on top of the head. :oP
I think I will take the blue off, but I wanted to show you:

My daughter is a little better but still sneezing and with a stuffy nose, poor thing. Anyway, she made a cartoon character from Adventure Time, Marceline. (This version is cuter, in case you have not seen the cartoon, which is pretty scary lol)

The character was rescued by a guy that went crazy and doesn't remember things anymore, and there's a song that I want to share with you.... it's been stuck in my head now for days! Grab a kleenex, the singer is adorable!

Late post

Today was complicated. I woke up with a terrible headache. When I was feeling better, my daughter started to feel sick and she had a fever, poor thing :o(
We went out to enjoy the sunny day even if the wind was cold, it felt good.
Later on I came to work on my blue painting from yesterday, and this is the result. I am not done yet:

My poor baby girl, feeling so sick, came up with this virus face:

Thanks for visiting!

so, I kept going...

...Did you think I was going to stop painting it? lol
I know, most people said to leave it at that stage, so I compromised.
I actually made a larger print, prepped it, and went for it with skin tones, which over green don't look so warm but it is interesting.

And my daughter made an elf:

Plus I started another which will continue tomorrow ♥

We are starting our 2nd week, can you believe it?

7th face of 29

Well, I was too busy doing other things, so all I have it a WIP for today. I want to keep painting, but my daughter tells me I should leave her like that...
You will see tomorrow what happened, if I kept painting or not lol

My daughter sketch for today, ball point pen on paper :oD

Thanks for visiting, I'm linking to ♥PPF♥ and check out the other participants of 29 faces!

6th and 7th of 29 and a funny goat

Two faces for me today! but I'm just giving you a little sneak peek with an outline effect. I will show the actual painting later on, it is part of an awesome project! ;oD

And I hope my daughter's work for the day, face #7, won't give you nightmares; she says it is a gossipy goat..... hahaha

5th face of 29

This is my face for today. If you see her by itself, it is fine.... but if you see my source, well... doesn't look like it! Half the time when I'm trying to work on a style I mess up, but at least I like the result. I am going to give it a wash in ochre so it looks old.

My inspiration... (I'm not Leonardo, you can tell)

My daughter's two faces for today:

Don't forget to make an extra face before the month is over!! I have been working on 2 and taking video... I will show you soon! Editing is the pits! I don't want to have such a long video that takes forever to upload.

Richard III in 29 faces

My face for today is very special. A few weeks ago I was looking at old portraits, to admire the clothing and elements in the art. It is something I love to see, plus the style of working and painting centuries ago. I came across a portrait of Richard III and was fascinated by the colors and the background brushwork, very rough, at least in the images I found, compared to more later paintings, where everything is so smooth and velvety.
So for me, to read today that his skeleton was found and his DNA analyzed.... well, it is really exciting! What a coincidence!

 This is my sketch for today.... not so great, but maybe if I paint it it will look better:

This is my daughter's digital work. She had homework so she was in a hurry:

This is the image of Richard III:

Read more about the discovery HERE and if you like history, learn about his life HERE.
My fascination with history was a little seed well planted by my History teacher in sigh school, and I thank her for it, even if at the time it was a chore hehehe

And my daughter's digital image of the day:

2dn day of 29 faces

These are our faces (mine and my daughter's) for this second day:
She had more time to work her digital art today:(Frankly, I am amazed with what she can do! I will never even understand the app :oP)

I had less time today.... just a WIP. I am using a very old book that was in my MIL's garage for the past 40 years of more. Will insert it in my journal when I'm done.

Thanks for visiting!

So exciting!

It makes me so happy and it is so exciting to see so many happy creative people joining the 29 faces challenge! What a punch of energy! See the participants HERE
...and if you are in FB the group HERE has 185 participants as in today (added 27 new members just this past hour!)

I know is going to be a great month full of "ah-hA!" moments, while we all discover new ways to do our art, and new cool people to visit online.

My face today:ACEO size with acrylics

And this one is my daughter's, digital image of a wooden puppet:
