Here is a mermaid I am working on. I usually don't have the title until after I'm done, but in this case, I do. She is titled "Looking In." I found three of these porthole frames at the Goodwill and I snatched them up, they had some paper sailboat prints on them, but I removed those and put down a coat of gesso before I began.
Face 6
While I did do a more final sketch from yesterday's face, I didn't manage to get started on her on canvas, so I'll try to post the revised sketch and the start of that painting another day. I'm out of a paint color that I want to use... So, here is the sketch for this mermaid. She is my 6th face for the 29 faces challenge. The challenge is to create 29 faces in the month of September.
I'm joining in this week with Paint Party Friday. To see more participants, please visit:
