New Class and Sketch

I signed up yesterday, for Sharon Tomlinson's all faces class and this is the 1st sketch she has us do.(ck out Sophia's blog for more sketches!)

I'm excited about her class after watching the first few videos! She has some awesome tips for sketching a face and getting it on the canvas. Her painting techniques use inexpensive craft paints and the canvases were only $1.00 at Michaels! How cool is that!
I'll have my first painting to show by next weekend!
Here is a painting I finished up that I started last weekend. Right now, it just needs a final coat to seal it.

I made this for someone special so if she likes it I'll be mailing it out in a day or so.
Here is the promised picture of the baby bird that left its nest last week.

My camera focused on the leaves, so you really have to look for him or her?
I can't wait to hop over to everyone's blog and see what you have been creating!
Have a good week!

Nice painting, Debbie. The lady's red hair looks like it's swinging...thanks for the birdie picture! Sounds like young birds are flying the coop all over blogland ;-)

I've learned that a face has to be symmetrical like you have drawn here but I find I never could draw faces that way - anyway, your painting is beautiful

thanks for your visit

Debbie, I love the start of your new class. I should take one on faces and hands - as those are both my weak areas within my artwork. Great start!

And your painting is absolutely GORGEOUS! Your art is improving - I can see it and it is exciting. :)
