First I uploaded my pictures to flikr.com.  Then I easily imported them into picmonkey.  It's fun to play with the layouts!

More Faces . . . 

I am not behind in my painting, just in posting to my blog!  Here are the next six faces, #7-12, that I finished already, and now I am A-HEAD in posting (Pun intended).  LOL.

Faces 5 and 6: 29 Faces in Feb

Face #5

"A Little Boy in a Big Suit"

Face #6

"A Young Man in a Suit"

These two males are obviously related, either Father/Son or the same person as a child and then all grown up.  I think the latter is what I see.  I did not paint them that way, but sometimes paintings speak for themselves.

These are for the Challenge:

Faces 3 and 4: 29 Faces in Feb 2014

Face #3 ACEO:  A Man for a Change

Pen and Ink on 140# Watercolor Paper, then used a tiny brush with water washes to spread the ink around.  Mostly you see faces of women on this challenge, so I decided to do a guy for a change.  We did a bunch of guys once for a challenge, but I didn't do that many.  

Face #4:  ACEO:  Purple Lady

She is purple because I used a pencil that I got at a yard sale in a box of "art junk" - when you draw something it looks like a regular pencil, but if you get it wet, "Voila" it turns purple, like a blueprint color.  I like using it sometimes.  I remember painting with water in those colorbooks as a child.  The water would turn the black and white pictures into colored paintings.  Anyone else remember those? I wish I could find more of these magic drafting pencils.  It is a little like watercolor pencils, but not the same.
