Sketching Project: Faye
The latest progress on my emerging portrait skills….
Friends!
I’ve finally uploaded a whole bunch of new artwork to my website.
If you click on my new category, WATERCOLOR ART, you’ll see pieces I’ve created since March 6, 2020.
Since we’ve all been physically-distanced from each other.
For those of you who have been with me since 2014, you know I’ve moved through different stages with this art stuff.
First there were hearts.
Then monsters.
The the critters showed up.
Then the girlies were born.
And now my artwork is changing again.
There is an emphasis on lines and movement and connection.
Because I am sooooo missing connection!
As always, if you are looking for a special gift, please check out my website because now — in addition to magnets & prints & masonite tiles & original acrylic work — I am also offering affordable original watercolors.
And when you click over, you’ll notice that I have included the story of how each piece was created!
So that’s new, too!
I hope you are all safe and well.
And I hope to see you all very soon.

I’ve been staring at people for several weeks now and, while I initially planned to sketch one stranger each day, I’ve realized that was an unrealistic goal.
So I’ve slowed down a bit.
Still, I feel like I’m improving.
This is real life Faye.
And this is my version of Faye:
So maybe this portrait doesn’t look anything like “real life” Faye, but I like what I did with her ear and her neck. And her lips. I’m seeing things differently, too, which is cool.
I’m feeling sorta inspired.
(And by that I mean, I feel some kind of art contest coming on. You know, with prizes and stuff, the way I used to do.)
