Pulled Art
I didn't know there was a name for this type of art, but I
probably should have. I loved doing this and loved the results.
What is pulled art? I couldn't find a definition for it, but to
my mind it is pulling an image from a background. It's a bit
like cloud gazing.
I did this one before I knew what it was it called,
and was excited to see a face in my background.
I did this one as this weeks lesson taught by Mystele in my Life Book class.
As I was finishing up the background, I thought I'm not going
to see anything in this one. I walked away for a while and when I
came back, there she was. I really enjoyed the process and am anxious to do another.

Finished Drawing
After looking at my drawings on line, I could tell it needed something.
I worked a little on the eyes and added highlights as suggested by
my husband. At this point, I think I have to quit while I'm ahead
and consider it done.
Drawing Over
These are my drawings from lesson 2 of Pam Carriker's Pursuing Portraits class.
I pasted a black and white copy of a photo onto my page, coated it with gel medium
and then a layer of thinned out white paint, and then drew over it.
My mouth is open in the original, but I drew it closed in this one.
I did a second with my mouth open.

Bunny's Garden
Bunny's Garden
I love this.
Done while visiting Grampy on Sunday afternoon.
It looks like she didn't have time to finish coloring.
There is broccoli, tomatoes, carrots, and I'm guessing lettuce.

Supplies Me
Supplies Me
Supplies Me is a Jane Davenport on line class on supplies - journals, gesso, pencils, watercolors, acrylics, pens and markers, and pastels. In the process of learning about supplies the class offers
lessons on drawing faces and bodies, and mixed media.
This is a mixed media page done in my hand made journal.
The journal was made with watercolor paper and coated with gesso.
As I worked on my background for this page,
the shape of a face serendipitously appeared.
I outlined it in my drawing.
In the lesson on colored pencils Jane suggests that you're more likely to use your pencils if they are within reach. She had hers in a biscuit truck tin. I was able to find a similar tin on ebay for my pencils
and I made short work of using them drawing faces.
Pursuing Portraits
Pursuing Portraits
Pursuing Portraits is an on line class with Pam Carriker.
Last summer my interest in drawing and painting faces was piqued when I was introduced to Pam Carriker and Jodi Ohl. Last summer I took Jodi's "Let's Face It" on line class and am currently taking Pam's class. I'm not sure what direction my faces will take but I'm having fun drawing them.
