Black and White Week--36 of DLP

Better late than missing this week! This week the challenge was to create a journal page with just black and white. So I decided to pull out a hand carved stamp and write something about this art journey we are on.  Art brings such joy to me and yes, if it bring joy to others then that's even all the better!

From this---to this

I am going back over some faces I have preciously painted. I think I painted this one in Paulette Insall's , "All About Faces" class in October of 2008 which was a very good class. I am not sure she even offers it anymore but it was my introduction to painting paces. I have gone on to Sharon's class where we use colors and I think I am going to love this style. Actually after you get over the shock of putting color into a face it is actually quite freeing. You still have to have a pretty good sketch and all of my faces classes I have taken have helped me to draw the face. I actually had to completely paint over her face with Titanium white and start over because the features were not quite right.
She possible needs something down in the right hand side so I might collage something on her. If I do that I will show you.
