I recently purchased the book “Taking Flight”
and was inspired by several art pieces. Within the pages are gorgeous step by step instruction to paint reflective self-portraits. Throughout you’ll find thought provoking prompts to help you escape fears into your true artistic self. I was wowed by the various ways to draw/paint/create female faces. And while each artist held her own style the portraits looked as though they were family. They each had almost the same modern folk artsy feel. Each contributing artists used a different medium to create her masterpiece. Some used acrylics, others oils, some paintbrushes, some pens and others their fingers, etc.
I made my first attempt at a human face on a note card size paper. The result.

Of course they both need quite a bit more work to finish them up. But the process has been so enjoyable I wanted to share where I was so far.
