Colourful faces
5.5.1 Adding colour
I decided to use gouache for this exercise and did manage to feed a heavier weight of paper through the copier. This time I was working in the conservatory, so a very good light, but couldn't discern much in the way of extra colour on my usual pale face. Perhaps I was expecting to see some colours that van Gough might have seen.
EA Playing with Picasa
This is something I do a lot especially with the grandson aged 5.
Where has picture 4 gone? Heaven knows, but it has completely disappeared.
5.5.2.
I thought I would like to do this exercise in fabric. I couldn't face going off to the barn, fighting to unlock it (whilst standing on a chair) and then rummage for my Bondaweb, so I used lots of spray starch on the fabric. The neck started off more normal than this, but I accidentally cut bits off it for the eyebrows etc.
I must have been an old woman for the last 15 years as I love wearing purple, but not usually on my face. I haven't got around to running a walking stick along the railings yet, but give it a few more years. I enjoyed this exercise and it will give me the confidence to do it again.
