Hi Everyone!
I know this is very early posting for Paint Party Friday however, if I don't do it now I will not have time later. The next two days are busy busy busy. I was able to spend some time in the art room this week working on a new painting that I will show next time. I am also working on leather boxes. I ordered some single shoulders that were on sale and are beautifully tanned. For now though Here are two drawings that I was able to create.
The first is named "Intense"
This second one is "Dejection"
I have drawn this woman in the past. The life she shows on her face haunts me.
It is dark and stormy here and I can't get a good photo of this drawing.
A huge thanks to Kristen I and Eva for hosting Paint Party Friday, and to all the incredible artists who join in.

Ooh, so much expression on both faces!

ReplyDeleteThe woman in 'Dejection' has suffered a lot in her life - it shows brilliantly in your drawing!
ReplyDeleteGrey and rainy here too, our pure white snow almost melted...

ReplyDeleteYou have created so much expression in those two sketches. Excellent. They tell a story on their own.

Great detail in each one with so much emotion showing through each one ♡♡♡♡
ReplyDeleteThe drawings are wonderful! There is great power in both of them, I especially like the eyes of "Intensity"
ReplyDeleteTwo amazing drawings Nicole! Love the emotions in them! Make sure to show your new painting and the leather boxes! Big Hugs!
ReplyDelete(We are getting a snow storm right now!)
If you were early I'm late, as always :)
ReplyDeleteYou can really draw ages - first one looks young and the second not so young but a lot of rough life behind....
Have a creative week!
Nicole, both of these drawings are great! The title for the 1st one is perfect. Intense. Yes. And the 2nd drawing is a bit haunting to me as well... beautiful work. I love that you dabble in everything - you're never boxed in to just one medium. Wishing you a wonderful week! xx
ReplyDeleteThey're both such beautiful drawings. The emotions are so there, especially on the second one. Wonderful art! :)
ReplyDeleteWow! Your portraits have so much personality! Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteI know you have been doing the 29 faces challenge. and it really shows Nicole! These are very expressive faces.They are in contrast to your usually colorful art. But i love them.Have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteThe titles fit very well -- great capture of expressions!
ReplyDeleteI remember that 'haunting woman'...
ReplyDeletelearning, learning - you're right. I try to learn proportions of face...I know the rules but it's difficult to follow the rules on the paper :) but I know I learn by doing. We all do :)
