| Fly encaustic 16 x 16 |
I haven't painted really small faces for a long time because in my estimation, they are much more difficult. However, I've been trying the little ones again - like Ice below. Really its been in an effort to keep up with this challenge. The bigger - the longer they take. The smaller - they go a little quicker. I'm learning to paint a little faster which is good because I'm not dwelling on things so long. I'll be interested to see in the end where the painting of 29 faces leads me. Yesterday - I kinda hit the wall and had to take a break today from painting. But, I'll be back at it again tomorrow - just a few more to go :)

Both are wonderful, Marji. Fly is the best so far, I think. Of all the different styles I have seen online, yours is the one I most would like to emulate. I love to see your encaustic art. I have never seen real encaustic work except for a couple of ATCs someone sent me.
ReplyDeleteWonderful. The first face has left me speechless! Valerie
ReplyDeleteStunning, the first one is perfection!
ReplyDeleteBoth are terrific Marji. Happy PPF, Annette G
ReplyDeleteI love how you explained the bigger smaller thing! My head was whirling just thinking about it as I'm debating the size of my next painting for exactly those reasons although I'm planning a landscape so small might still work perhaps! Anyway, wow - FLY is my favourite of your faces yet - this is incredible. I love the way she is looking down and that superb serene glowing skin tone again!
ReplyDeleteThe top one is amazing.... absolutely love it!
ReplyDeleteOh man, Marji, while I believe that they are hard, you make it look so easy! I would love to be a fly (or a hippo;-) on the wall in your studio... your process fascinates me. Excellent, excellent, excellent work!
ReplyDeleteI've been following your 29 faces project, your work is beautiful, love all your faces. The top one is partially amazing.
ReplyDeleteFly is my favourite of the series and the whole series has been overwhelmingly amazing... just love the layering of the colours to create depth... mad skills...xx
ReplyDelete20 is my new favorite - and that's saying a lot! Absolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteStunning! Marji you have done it again!! Her expression is so serene and almost celestial. The feather is nice touch on this angel:) I know what you mean about painting small is harder and i can imagine that encaustics is even more difficult
