Morning all, hope you are well. I’m feeling sad due to the terrible events in Nice, and the terrible loss of life. My hearts goes out to all who are suffering! I had completed this face earlier in the week and will add it to Kim Dellow’s Show your face, follow the link to see what it’s all about.
I used pen and Prima Water soluble pencils and oil pastels. This was on a watercolour paper which in fact is not very good so won’t use again. The more i worked on the face the more the paper tore creating texture. Not a happy face, she reminds me of work by an Artist called Joan Dumouchel which is purely by accident. Here are some step outs







A face full of intrigue and sadness.Her neck reminded me of a bottle and made me think about bottling things up.Love her!Gill x
Not a happy face – haunting, in fact, I'd say. And I read that collar as something much more disturbing. Great work.Alison x
