Drawing Faces

Firstly I sketched the face making sure that the eyes lined up using a ruler to make sure.  I used pastel pencils  and a paper with a slight grain to it.

 

I then started added the dark shadings using dark brown and black.  Using flesh, subtle yellow and white to  blend the dark shades in, once I had carried on blending until I was satisfied that I had got the skin colour reasonable , I then added the hair working from the dark colours to  the top lighter ones.  In the end she did not look to bad.

I'm making faces

I am making faces and thanks to Suzi Blu's the penny has finally dropped!  Here I used Suzi's face principals and combined these with All Norah's Art technicolour faces.  I coloured these in using pastel pencils and was amazed at how easy it was to blend them, they work so well.

Journals

My art journals, and some of the pages I have already decorated., sorry I am a woman of few words.  I am going to try and make my ramblings longer, to be honest visually things say a lot more.  The journals were pretty pricey, but  going to a flea market, picking up a lovely hard back between A4 -A5 size should do the trick, don't worry about whats in it this can easily be painted over, interesting words or images left in to add more depth to your page, there is only one limit and that's your imagination  Scrapbooking  is a wonderful way of not only off your beautiful memories, but a very relaxing and rewarding way of  having that all important me time.    If you can stick it you can use it, step out your comfort zone and discover your hidden talent. 

Faces

I am mad about faces, and love it even more when I have sketched my face and start adding paint.  The final result is un-predictable and exciting.

These two are my technicolor faces and I just love them!

My Scrapbook journal pages

I love how the effects you get when you combine paper, newspaper, wallpaper, fabrics with paints glues, stamps and inks.  On these pages I have used many of the above to create a sort of shabby chic look to  my pages which are all one offs.  Happy accidents can often to out to be the your best pieces.  This is this the front cover to my painted  scrapbook journal.

This is the side view with all my hand painted tags for my different headings.

These are just some of the pages from my scrapbook.
