I think I should offer my services as a
spokeswoman for Carla.
Monday's assignment was so much fun.
We were asked to work on pieces of paper cut to uniform size.....I prefer for now to work in a large, watercolor notebook.
Eight pencil and watercolor faces
As long as I can, I will label my faces....after about 75 I bet I use numbers, followed by letters! LOL
Ink sketches from life using non-dominant hand.
I had no "live people" around me,
so I found a magazine with exotically dressed women.
I found it easier to draw the faces with my left hand, than to do the hand writing!!!!! Interesting, eh?
Oops, almost forgot. I also found it easier to do the non-dominant work in pencil than pen. I couldn't quite get the angle right on the pen, and my fine tip pen was getting a little dry.
The top left face is the only one in ink.
Because I am using white paper, I loosely filled in the negative space with India Ink.
This was fun...thanks Carla.
Sharon - really amazing work! I am always in awe of your drawing and painting abilities. And to capture so many unique faces. I love the pencil and ink ladies.
ReplyDeleteYour faces look GREAT! I love your non dominant hand ones. They are amazing. I was going to take this course, as I love Carla's courses, but looked at the list of what I want to do this month, and decided against it. I already have many fun things on my list. I look forward to seeing more of your faces.... and I love her book too!
