Deco Art americana stencil : "Fossil"by Andy skinner 

The challenge was to only use Blue Orange, yellow and black and white for the painting, this being a #STEGERSANDSTEIJN lesson it was supposed to be a girl face again, but I really dont like painting girls all the time so I made a Dodo :-).
luckely the colors mix into purples and brownish colors and black and white was allowed to.

Fot thebackground I used stencils and in the fossil stencil I cheated by using  Traditional Burnt Sienna

The future is in your hands

another Girl Face

I have been trying to learn how to paint for a while now, I usually paint animals, for some reason I find them easier than people, but now I am trying to paint girl faces.


They are getting better, practise does work, but they still don;t come out as good as I want them to be.

This is the latest go I made at the lessons by #StegersandStein.

 It took quite long for me to get the face sorta right, she has had many looks before I was ok with the result, see the pic above and below.

I really did not like the shoulders and I didn't know how to fix them so painted them over with gesso and used a stencil to cover them.


I was fun to do and I will keep practising.
