Today I drew three portraits on top of each other, another exercise in my expressive drawing course. It’s interesting, having this course overlap with Art Every Day Month – most of these exercises are things I wouldn’t normally post, but I have enjoyed all the feedback they’ve received. Perhaps I should be posting experiments all year long.
Above is the piece after just one portrait; below is after two. Each portrait was limited to about 5 minutes.
What a great exercise, with lovely results. I’m intrigued by the colors and the delicacy of line.
Thank you, Barbara. I’m working hard on making my lines more interesting.
These are wonderful. As for sharing your experiments, I was just explaining to Barbara on her latest blog post that I make art for me, and document it in words and photos on my blog. Whether it’s good or bad, a success or a failure, I still share it with the whole world. You should be sharing yours, too. After all, you draw beautiful faces, bodies, and abstracts.
Thank you, B&E. It’s interesting how I go through periods where I’m happy to share everything I do, and others where I want to keep everything private.
I loved your drawings. So expressive and full of process marks. I love works of art which do not hide the process. I feel the artist kind of reveals his/her secrets.I try to decipher where you started, where you are headed on the page. It is a pleasure to watch 🙂 Happy weekend…
Thank you so much, Ozge.
