5 of 29 faces

Here come some sketches, four in my sketchbook using pencil, charcoal, pastels and stuff and one on cardboard sized 70 x 100 cm. The last sketch is worked in acrylic.

It was actually really difficult for me to get her right, I didn't get her right!!! But I should learn from the process. And the acrylic sketch is a good starting point for a portrait, I think.

I hope to finish it, maybe during this month, maybe later.



It seems the flue finally got me too, I feel a bit weak. Making art is something doable anyway.

  5. Love your Frida sketches -- I always find it very meditative and a wonderful exercise myself to sketch her amazing face and to study in detail those intensely lovely iconic features. Well done!
