Making Faces

Here is a photo journey 
of painting a face!

It started with a painting a friend gave me to paint over.
She bought it at at thrift store and did not get around to using it herself.

I have been in a yellow mood lately - so thought I would go with that.

I painted thickly in places and put some texture in there and then splattered some blue/green on top.

See...

 Added some pink and orange over that...

Added black lines.

White stripes.  Check!

Decided I wanted the roundy part at the bottom - so flipped the canvas around and then blocked in a face.

Eyes - mouth - yep.  That's gonna be a face.

Face outline and jaw...

Darker nose and then added hair hair and more hair...

Pink cheeks.

Put some white on the eyes and each eye ended up looking a 
different direction.  
 Ooopsy.

Wiped the paint off.
Several times...

Got the eyes figured out - added more hair and added lines around the pink cheeks.
Done.
I painted the wooden frame black and today will re-assemble it all back together and it will be for sale!
