Woodpanel Beauty

So today I am back to share the first wood panel canvas I created on my scrapping retreat as mentioned in yesterdays post.

 

Below is the sketch of the face I did on the wood panel, and one thing I can say about working on a 12x12 square panel compared to working in a large, tall moleskin book is that I found the faces I was sketching were much rounder. I wasn't intentionally going for that look, so I may have to get hubby to cut a few rectangle wood panels for me to try sketching on and see how the faces turn out then lol.

 

 

I used a mixture of ink, neo colour II watersoluble crayons, paint, paint pens and pencils to complete this piece. I'd never drawn or painted lotus flowers before so they are my first attempt. I am happy with them for a first attempt and I was lucky enough that my friend Jodie had some lotus flowers she had drawn with her so I could use them as a reference too.

 

It only seemed fitting that she should have blue hair! I mean hello, I love blue hair lol.

 

I'll share another one tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by.
