Paint Party Friday.....Week 28....

I've been busy adding color to my phone book page drawings. 


Playing with watercolor crayons and gesso and lots of other new toys :) 



...learning to add texture and design with unusual items from around the house...


I've never been good at faces so I've mostly avoided them...this class ifs helping me get over that even if they are not realistic faces...it's a start! 

The bottom one is still a work in progress and I'm still thinking it's going to be my favorite....if I don't screw it up along the way :-/

    Oy, we just received yet another phone book that we will never use. You've given me an idea of how to put it to good use!

    I am really loving all of your phone book page portraits! I enjoy drawing with my non-dominant hand too - It's so much fun and so freeing!

    I'm afraid of doing faces too, but this gives me hope because I LOVE how they are so fun not being realistic! These are wonderful! Deb

    I LOVE how free all of these and becoming more and more freer as the progress-resulting in some wonderful paintings! I can tell by looking how much fun you had doing these!
    Happy PPF (a day late ;))

    I came back to your blog cos this idea of faces with non dominant hand intrigued me and I have done a couple. Do you do the whole thing with non dominant hand or just the first drawing?
    Wrote this comment on the citrasolv page but figure you will read it more quickly on the PPF page. I would LOVE a reply!
