Faces

Painted with homemade pallet knife (new favorite tool).
Scrapped eyes and shape into wet paint with homemade pallet knife.
Then outlined. No additional paint added.

Just had to show you the spreads and how they integrate.
The hamburgers were great.
Thanks Sonic for bargain burgers.
Expect faces,
Sharon

  1. Wonderful. I am trying to understand why I never 'see' faces, always landscapes. Must be some hookup somewhere in my past.

  4. I really do think the tool does put spark in paintings. Laura mention the spark also. It is the eyes that have that. You so got me loving faces, and the tool. I sent you sample. The other thing that is so nice about those faces with a knife is the colors and still beautiful faces. It is such a good teacher of how things can be and still look so appealing.
    I get these odd ideas mixed with realism and so like to rid myself of them.

    My mother took a class once and did a lot of lanscapes with a knife, the instructor put an emphasis on exagerating color.
    It was passed down information from mother that I will always remember. Well not always, as I said I get caught up in being
    realistic sometimes.

    PS. Well torn fabric is pretty exciting also. Your blog is pretty exciting. Thank you again for the faithfulness of energy and time.

  9. Coming on and waiting for your newest creation to show itself just makes me giddy with anticipation! And today when I saw your newest 'scratch' lady, well, she took my breath away! She's lovely!
    I played with my new tool a bit but not long enough to 'see' anything yet. LOL!
