100 Day Project Update: Faces 28 - 34

More than one third of the way through this 100 Day Project of creating a face every single day.  Here are my thoughts at the moment:

  • I'm about to hit the road for three weeks and trying to decide which supplies to bring to create my daily faces.  I wonder what creating on the road will be like?
  • I'm enjoying experimenting with different mediums -- watercolor, oil pastel, markers, acrylic paint, and more!
  • I can really see the difference in the faces when I use a reference image and when I don't.  The ones with a reference image look more like an actual person to me rather than a collection of facial features.
  • I'm thinking of teaching a mega in-person face class.  This project is going to take me more than 3 months.  But, I think you could do 100 faces in 3 or 4 days.  You'd have to not think and just create.  But, I think it could be super duper cool.  It would mean making 33 faces a day!  What a fun way to lose the fear of faces and push at the boundaries, right?
  • I think that having video be part of each face puts the focus on the process rather than the final product.  I like that a lot.
  • I definitely prefer working on a surface with something to respond to.  In some cases I create that surface as part of the face making process and in some cases I grab it out of my scrap bin or a magazine or catalog.  
  • I've done two faces with taped edges and I really like the way they look.  That automatic mat makes the roughest painting look super fab!

And now, faces 28-34:
