29 Faces: Days 18 & 19 - Squawky and Violet

I'm still catching up, that'll teach me to slack off!  I thought these two go together so well that I had to post them together, like a set:



Squawky
Face 18
~ 1.25 x 2.5" Acrylic on YUPO

I felt I should include at least one human face in this challenge, so of course I drew Violet, upon whom all of my human girl characters are based.  Squawky on the other hand is just Squawky.


Violet
Face 19
2.5 x 3.5" Colored Pencil on Stonehenge

29 Faces Challenge - day 13

Here for day 13 I've painted Nuwitness, a little white cat we used to have.

Face 13
Oil on YUPO
1.5" x 2"

I'm not really happy with how this came out - it's not a very interesting painting, but oh well. I guess they can't all be winners.

29 Faces Challenge - day 12

I actually had another piece to post for today, it was oil on YUPO again but I guess the oils take longer to dry on YUPO than on other surfaces & I couldn't scan it comfortably.

So continuing with my YUPO experimenting, I tried Genesis heat set oils on YUPO and came up with this little fellow:

Face 12
1" x 1"


I didn't plan this one out much at all as I had no idea how the YUPO would react when baked, but it survived! I think I'm going to do more of this combo.

29 Faces Challenge - day 11


All caught up! Yay!

Face 11
little bluish bird

This is another tiny painting, it's about 1.5 x 1.5ish, acrylic on YUPO. I think I'm going to do more with YUPO, I really like it!

29 Faces Challenge - days 9 and 10

Here are my two Faces for days 9 and 10, later on I'll post day 11 and be all caught up!

Another thing I like about this challenge is that it's inspiring me to use some materials I never seem to get around to using. This first one is pastel on Stonehenge paper:


Face 9

Maybe he's really nice, but I don't think I'd want to see "Face 9" coming at me in the dark!

Next is another experiment, it's oil on YUPO, another of my favorite surfaces on which to paint, and also brought to you by the same folks who bring you Stonehenge paper!

Face 10

Face 10 is very enlarged, it's actually about 1.5 x 1.5 inches.
