and on and on of the 100 faces/happy infectious faces

2/27/2021

hi there, i have been painting away with more of the images that some of you have sent me.... these were fun and challenging to do...
what have i learned doing the 100 faces challenge/ happy infectious faces: faces are so elastic, don't take myself to seriously after all these are just watercolor sketches, sometimes you don't get it right and that is ok, using a limited palette can look really cool, doing this many paintings takes lots of time, i love love love unique and fun faces, they are just so much more interesting, and what story are they telling me.
I jused 15 x 21 ish cm strathmore tan toned paper, qor watercolor, white decorite artline pen, rotring black drawing ink. and some pulling up of my big girl art pants.... cause sometimes i have no confidence....

50 happy infectious faces!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some people are laughing with the project and some not so much. but that is what happens with a project like this.

hi there happy infectious faces people.
We have some faces here that really got into the spirit of this art game... For some making faces is easy and for some it is hard (to break out and have some fun and risk) I admire all of you who played.... awesome...
These were hard, hard faces to paint but boy I learned a lot! way out of the norm, and i had to learn what the facial muscles can do!
Love these!!!

hi there face book people.... I wanted to put some great faces out there for the Happy Infectious faces project, aka 100 faces challenge ala Robin Moulyn...
Again, I had some people out there who gave me their all when they sent me their wonderful goofy faces... I would say that they did a good (awesome) job...
I hope they make you laugh, or at least smile!

Happy new year

Happy new year to all of you, and here is the happy infectious faces so far.... I hope it makes you smile.

lost but not forgotten and the ill tidings with facebook... :(

1/1/2021

Hello and happy new year...This is a 100 faces/Happy Infectious faces project posting.
i found out that sometimes i don't get messages on facebook.
That is why i asked people to private message me their photos... Unfortunately sometimes even with that they still removed some information.... Sooooo. I have three paintings here of the three people, I can't seem to find, so if this face is yours please contact me, so that i can give you the bigger digital file for your use...
I am still looking for a few more faces. just no children as i think we all need to keep the children safe from horrible people on the internet and i publish these images on my social media....
