Finding the Faces

"Humidity", acrylic on wooden panel, 5x7 inch.

I feel content taking Mindy Lacefield's class.  

Learning from how she works out primitive portraits with mixed media is indeed an enjoyment.  Moreover, it really lead you to explore your own character and expression.  You would probably not even realize that throughout the process but can definitely be surprised and discover it as reward and prize for yourself.  Other than the interesting faces I created with the class, I also got to enjoy mixing vibrant colors fearlessly which actually turned out amazing.

I love this piece "Humidity".  Her hair just popped up in the midst of my attempt in placing and blending colors around and that's a great hair style, I think.

"Collecting Flowers", acrylic on wooden panel, 8x12 inch.

The "Collecting Flowers" was the second attempt and I am satisfied with the color coral red and blue combination.  Some of my classmates commented to say they liked the movement and Mindy herself liked the bag.  Another one said she looks contented and I guess that's because I was contented when I made her.

I want to explore more.

I caught up the second challenge given the following prompts. Headline Prompt :  Taking a Chance:  When did you take a chance or a leap of faith?  How did it turn out?  What did you learn? Color Prompt :  What color do you like least? Use it! Quote Prompt :  "Don't refuse to go on an occasional wild goose chase -- that's what wild geese are for." Anonymous It appeared to me that the color prompt was easier for me to start up.  I wasn't thinking much about the headline and quote.  I wouldn't say that I dislike a certain color.  It is rather that I have less control over some of them.  Orange was the first color came across my mind and I always have hard time matching it with dark blue like Persian blue.  That was how I got there.

The picture was done after my being lazy for quite a while.  I was trying to draw this flower in colors combination that I rarely use or am not too comfortable with.  Cool color tone is always challenging for me.
