Face in the World 2 EXTRA

I have told about the Face in the World challenge before and today I will show you the three pieces I received this week after they travelled to California and England. Milo Wylde Chin, Gina Morley and I grouped together to make an extra round, each making three starts.
My starts looked like this:


I didn't paint ar draw any faces, because I wanted to see, what my group mates would do with the backgrounds I had created. I find it very inspiring to work on a background someone else has created, it is often different from, what I would usually do. And so in the following row of pictures you can see, what happened to my backgrounds :-)

When Milo had worked on them she posted these photos:




And Gina added her magic to the paintings and sent me these amazing pieces:




It fills my heart with joy to look at these faces, I can't even tell you...
Thank you Milo and Gina for playing with me!

I'll show you the other pieces in another post. Milo's are still with me, being sent off today and Gina will receive hers soon too :-)

  5. It's so interesting to see the different ways in which people will interpret and progress a painting. I really liked your backgrounds and that was a good idea to leave them that way for the faces to be added on top of.
