Family Fun Faces

In one of my last posts I mentioned that I'm taking a class by Carla Sonheim about drawing and painting faces. "Faces 101" has turned out to be a real fun class. Carla is so nice to make the worksheets available for the entire family, and Kaefer and I completed some of the assignments together. We laughed a lot while doing this. Later, the geek also joined us, but he asked me NOT to post his drawings. The first day of the class turned into a real family fun activity.

First Kaefer and I did some blind drawing on a "warm-up" worksheet. Then we got into the more serious stuff. We had to draw each other using our non-dominant hand.

My drawing of Kaefer:

Kaefer's drawing of me - simply charming, right? 

Then we both drew the geek. Here's Kaefer's take: 

and here's mine (he doesn't even look close in both drawings): 

After all this was accomplished the next assignment was to paint eight faces with watercolor. Kaefer skipped this one, but I again had tons of fun. These two are my favorites:

Watercolor Caricature

Good night people! Hope everyone is having fun! This is a watercolor caricature comission i did a while ago to present a firefighter a special profession that is not so professional here in Portugal as many are volunteers, in fact i believe its really the only peace corps in the world in this situation aren't we Portuguese special or something? True heroes that's what i think of them.

Watercolour sketches

Good morning everyone! Wish all a good week! It´s been a while since i don't paint in watercolours, except for a commission i did a while ago which i will post soon. Thinking on that and because i believe its always good for the artist to grow, handling with different materials, developing his vision on technique, composition and colour. So i decided to illustrate Amy Winehouse (again) and Barack Obama. Amy was coloured in a cold pressed watercolour paper 200gr/m2 and Obama on a cheap Xerox paper 80gr/m2. You can see the special difference effects on each sheet.
