Have fun when painting portraits or faces. In the video are a number of examples and exercises shown and explained. The whole video is an invitation to participate in this 2023 summer painting challenge. You can join too, just have fun. All details of the challenge are explained and listed below.
Painting Challenge: Funny Faces
Submit your artwork on or before August 18, 2023.
The exercise is shown and explained in the video: look around for faces in anything, and paint a number yourself. #1 paint over a printed picture or your face. #2 on a flat surface, create a face using your favorite art materials, it must contain 2 eyes, a nose, a mouth and parts of a contour line. #3 create a face using any (found) materials. Try to use things you never worked with before. #4 take pictures around you of faces (you think) you see. Send me 2 or 3 examples.
All is good. You’re free to choose your art materials, size, color, the art tools you use or whatever. Complicated or simple, make the required or even more paintings, just surprise me. Whatever you do: enjoy the magic of making art and remember: create to express, not to impress. So any artistic level is okay. Be you and have fun making it.
IMPORTANT: Also mail me your first name and the country you live in, so I can put them next to your artwork in the video. I appreciate it very much when you also send me a line or two about what you experienced while making your artwork. How was it to paint over your face?. Did you learn anything, enjoyed playing like this or ran into trouble? I just love to hear from you. Please submit your artwork on or before August 18, 2023. Just take your phone and snap a picture looking straight down at your artwork, preferably using daylight, but no direct sunlight on it. Don’t forget to have fun. It’s play-time.
