#3 of 29 Faces

I can't sleep tonight for some reason. Probably because it's a little too warm for my liking. But I like to turn that into something positive so I decided to go ahead and do my third of my 29 Faces. I'm not always this productive when I get a bout of insomnia but I try to be. It tends to happen a lot in the summer time since the heat doesn't agree with me so much. At least I'll be filling up a lot of art journals that way!

This face was done in my coptic bound journal that I made to do Suzi Blu's journal workshop, A Lovely Dream. I LOVE these journals! I use Stonehenge printmaking paper for them and I really like that paper for how affordable it is. It can take a beating with the mixed media! Anyway this face is serving a dual purpose. It is my third of my 29 Faces and it is also my Lesson #13 project for A Lovely Dream. She is done in mostly Pan Pastels. I have limited colors I can use for skin tones so it was a bit of a challenge but I think I made it work. I mostly used white and a darkish brown as well as a magenta. I definitely need to work on my writing. I am not too happy with that part of the portrait but it'll do.

If I'm not too worn out tomorrow from being up so late tonight, I hope to work on the next project for Art Geeks. Duality is the theme.
