Day 5. Part 2. Face Off

Hello Everyone! How are you? Today is Day 5. and I am excited to share with you today. I was able to finish one of the faces on the backgrounds that I watercolored on Day 3. You can see the post here   if you missed it.

Stamping a pattern on clothing is one of my favorite things to do but, I ran out of time on this one . … maybe next time and I think a tattoo could be fun too?

I like to do these short videos on Instagram but, I thought I would post it in case you want to see the 60 second one.

This one is the long version and I hope you like it.

I made sure to take a photo of the distress ink I used today. I have been keeping a towel under my watercoloring I find it very useful.

For some reason I always color the face first … what’s your preference? Face first or hair first?

I am off to Creativation in Arizona & I am getting nervous because I have been sneezing like crazy and it’s not the kinda place you want to be with a cold. Now I have double nerves! What you are up to this weekend? If you are coming I would love to see you…. two days seems so short. Have a great day and see you tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy

    A tattoo would be fun, or just a part of one sticking out. Is it odd I notice the palette is the perfect size for the small inks. I love that. Very pretty painting!

    I love seeing the two girls painted up. I just got a little container that can hold 40 colors and I dropped my ranger re-inkers in there and some stampin up re-inkers. I love being able to use them for coloring. I love the softness they give. I love this about the awesome girls you painted the softness and I love the added details. The eyelash marks. Thank you for doing the videos and reminding me what I need to do.

    Hai Kathy, ohh you made it always seem so easy. I love what you have done with this gorgeous girl.
    I colour always first the face and other bodyparts. I think that an image stands or falls with the skincolour and shading. I find that always the most difficult part, even if I use the same colours everytime.

      Henriette maybe try just one time to color the background first?! See if you like it? A little challenge?! Haha Hope you’re having fun coloring!

    Great image, great use with colours. People are my no go area unless its the back of the head, you amaze me how you just do it. No stress no fuss just do it, fantastic.

    Off art subject, I am not a religious person at all but I will think positive thoughts for your family, all of you . I am in the same situation with my mum in law, she is unfortunately very I’ll with cancer in the hospital so when you look out a hospital window we are doing the same in england. Many hugs to you x
