29 Faces - crossing the finish line!


Face #28 is a renaissance woman.


And for the final one, some bright colours based on Matisse's portrait of Mrs. Matisse. 

I have to say that this challenge has been fun and… challenging :) I feel like I've learned a lot about light and shadow on faces, but also that there are many ways to draw a face. I've enjoyed looking at all the wonderful art and drawing inspiration from the many artists who've joined in this challenge and left encouraging comments. I will definitely keep experimenting. 

And away from faces, I managed to track down some carvable rubber so bought a 30x30cm piece. Here are my first few stamps:





And a background made with the circle one:

    Congratulations Tracy in finishing the challenge! Two very different faces , I like the Matisse and then again the renaissance gal is lovely as well, so both : )
    I think those stamps are perfect for creative adventures, imagine the possibilities, especially like the dandelion /star stamp.

    I love, love, love can I say it again LOVE your stamps! I didn't know about this challenge... is it going to be an every February thing? I would love to work on creating faces. I tend to think "I can't do this!" so I stop before I start. This seems (and YOU seem!) very encouraging.
