faces 9, 10 and 11

I might get a little ahead for a change! Here’s 3 faces in one day!

For this painting, I worked from an old black and white photo I got from my dad. It’s my great grandmother and great aunts. I would guess the photo was taken in the late 20s-early 30s.

I like working from black and white photos…it forces me to make color choices based on the tone in the photos instead of colors.

I may go back into this painting again and add more detail work with ink. My grandma’s apron had a pattern on it that I might try to show.

I worked on something called Acrylic Paper...it has a nice texture but doesn't soak up the watercolor like other watercolor paper. It's a bit tricky.
