No 13 the same but different

Yesterday, I called No 13 my Sunday morning face.

Wanda pointed out on Facebook that my "retirement was showing".

 And I didn't have a clue what she meant. 

duh

Yesterday was Saturday. 

So, #13 is my Saturday morning face and I will be painting a Sunday morning face shortly. 

13 of 100 Faces

I really like the way this is looking as the faces begin to add up and even though this is a pretty bad photograph, I thought you might enjoy seeing the scheme of things as they stand today.

Face No 13

I used the same Modigliani reference for No One and 13.
I knew I was going to change up the whole technique and thought it would be cool for them to be next to each other. 

Here are some differences: 

No One

I sketched and painted many layers on the text.
The black outline was done with a dip pen

 She is framed. 

No 13

The first layer was black over the text.
I sketched with lead pencil on the black which showed up nicely. 

I cropped the Modigliani to show more neck and moved it to the right.
The black outlines are the background showing.

I stopped with just very few layers and tried to stop myself much sooner.
No frame.

Face No One & No 13

You can see other differences.

I can't say they were intentional.
