Stencil Portrait with Distress Crayons
I find drawing faces so intriguing, it's as if each face falls out of my pencil and has its own story to tell. Using a stencil is a terrific building block, the stencil lays a quick foundation and it reinforces the positioning of the facial features. By outlining the face through the stencil with a Stabilo pencil I'm assured that the shading will take care of itself. The Stabilo pencil is water activated, it seems to blend into the right places on the face. I use Distress Crayons to do quite a few of my portraits now and a quick spray to the entire surface at the end gives it a water colored appearance. I had several posts a few months back showing a step by step tutorial on how to create your own water colored portraits. If you follow the directions it is as simple as it looks, I taught my 11 year old great-niece how to do this with very successful results.

Love the looks of this portrait, Renee! It does take on the appearance of a watercolor yet has its own properties that set it apart. SO many supplies an artist can choose from.
ReplyDeleteHi Renee, wonderful face once again, and a precious sample of your techniques... Thank you my friend. I remember your previous lessons and tutorials, I keep all these very preciously.
ReplyDeleteI will do one day, I promise! :)
You will see I hope, if I manage to do it not too badly.
Hugs, Corinne
