PAINT PARTY FRIDAY SEPT 30

Hi Everyone!

I am so happy that I completed the 29 faces challenge. I showed some of the drawings last week and of course you can scroll my blog to see all 29 of them. I feel like I have grown in this field of art, not perfect but better than I was before. I hope you enjoy seeing them. Thank you to Eva and Kristin for hosting Paint Party Friday.  Also to all the artists who step out to show their art. I do enjoy visiting all of you.

These are last weeks faces.

If you click on the face and scroll through they show better.

 This is my brother Steve.

 I showed this drawing on FB and got some great comments, but people wanted to see the photo I used.

Wishing all of you a very happy weekend.

29 FACES CHALLENGE LAST DAY

Hi Everyone!

Well here it is the last day of 29 Faces Challenge. I am pretty proud of myself for creating a face everyday and finishing the challenge. I will take some time over the next few days to leave comments to all of the other great artists who joined in. I have learned a lot from this challenge and will continue to draw faces.  Thank you Martha from Ayala Art for hosting this fun event. 

Here is my last entry for 29 Faces.

29 FACES DAY 28

Hi Everyone!

I can't believe that 29 Faces is just about over. I am pretty happy with myself for making time each day to complete a drawing of a face. Thank you Martha for hosting 29 Faces.  I was so intent on this face I forgot to take step by step photos.

Wishing everyone a happy day.

29 FACES DAY 27

 Hi Everyone!

Today is day 27 of 29 Faces challenge.  Thanks to Martha from Ayala Arts for hosting this. I am so far behind on visiting the other very fine artists who have also joined in but plan to take some time to catch up.  This face was done very quickly and ended up very large on my paper. I think I sketched this in about 30 minutes. Most of that time spent on the mouth.  I am still learning teeth. Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving your comments. Have a great day today.

Hi Everyone!

I can't believe it is Sunday already. I am trying to get things done around here to day so I can get an extra drawing done for 29 Faces. I will be taking DH to the doctor on Tuesday and that is an all day drive and ordeal. LOL  So that is my plan for the day. I will see how it works out.  Here is my day 25 for 29 Faces. Thanks to Martha from Ayala Art for hosting.

29 FACES DAY 23

Hi Everyone!

Holy Moly another crazy busy day and I am posting late in the evening for 29 Faces. I got him done though. The lighting in my house is NOOOOTTTT good at all so this photo is not great. However, I think you get the idea of what I drew.

Have a great evening.

29 FACES DAY 18

Hi Everyone!

Most of you know that I am a novice at drawing. Even though I remember some of the tip and techniques my grandmother taught me, I am still a baby at drawing.  So today's attempt is very much out of my comfort zone.  Not the subject, I am the scary movie watching queen. LOL Just getting the proportions right.  I think I did pretty well. So another photo taken from google and making it my own.  Thanks to Martha from Ayala Art for hosting 29 Faces.

I was so intent on this I forgot to take step by step photos.

29 FACES DAY 17

Hi Everyone!

My energy is zapped today. A side effect of lupus. The last few days have been an energy struggle and today, well let's just say after I post this I am off to take a nap. :)

I had a bit of trouble with the eye on this girl, but it is what I have today. Also I am still right on time with the 29 Faces challenge.  Thanks to Martha from Ayala Art for hosting.

29 FACES DAY16

Hi Everyone!

Day 16 of 29 Faces and I am finding everyday easier to make a face for this challenge. Today is a man I found on the internet and fell in love with his face. When DH saw the drawing he mentioned the dent in his head. I told him that is the way his head is. :)

Thanks to Martha from Ayala Art for hosting 29 Faces.
