Faces 25-29 (and more!)

 

Wow!  It has been a face-full week!


 Thanks to Carla Sonheim's Faces 101, I completed the 29 faces challenge 
(and then some!).


 I have played with all sorts of materials...


 Some familiar, some not...


 It has been so much fun!


 I really can't say enough about Carla and her teaching style...

 Techniques that I learned in college 
(that could sometimes be pretty dull and monotonous) 
have been given a fresh and funky twist at "Silly U".

 (You can learn more about Carla's Silly U here.)

    These are all so breathtakingly marvellous, every face a wonder. I love them all, but the 'young' couple at the top are so real, and their love so evident to see. You have the magic touch.

    I love the elderly couple - fantastic rendering. I also have Carla's drawing book (reminds me to go take another look at it). Your smudge faces are great - but that couple is just amazing. Fantastic work!

    These works made me sooo happy. I love your detail and the expressiveness of your lines. It's amazing how varied we can make the face and find so much beauty in it, even when it's a smudge. Great work!
