I have to say, this has been an interesting exercise. I've learned many things so far, like...
________
It's been difficult to keep up with faces everyday especially on the weekends!
•
I haven't been good at timing myself,
I just get too involved in the faces. One of the reasons for timing myself is to loosen me up,
so I'll keep at it and keep the alarm next to me.
•
I need variety, mixing it up with different styles,
mediums or techniques has been far more interesting for me.
•
I will not love each piece and I don't need to prefect each one,
some can be left as they are.
{This is difficult for a perfectionist like me *sigh*}
•
This past week alone has given me so many ideas for future pieces!

Wow, if all this inspiration happened in just 1 week of daily faces I can't wait to see what other things will unveil for me on this journey. Well, I'm off to go sketch the next face - wish me luck this week!

Ivy, I love your work. It is so versatile and cool!
Holy moly canoli! Such wonderful variety, both in style and media -- you are AMAZING to be so versatile and talented! I think they are all incredible, but I especially admire the collagey look of Face #3 and the faint mask around her eyes. Hooray for all the creative stimulation!
WOW Ivy, these look amazing. What's so interesting to me is how many different mediums you can use. You're good at EVERYTHING! Face 4 is gorgeous.
They are all wonderful, Ivy! I love the look of the portrait in oil paints. I've never tried it with oil, only acrylics...but you've inspired me!
Oh WOW thank you so much for all your feedback and for the encouragement to move ahead with this project! I so greatly appreciate it ♥
you have really inspired me. Faces are new to me. Yours are lovely. I would love to see the rest.
Hola Ivy, esto es muy interesante, una muy buena idea para poner en práctica. Seguramente, con este tipo de trabajo uno puede ir viendo el cambio y el progreso. y darse cuenta si uno se repite a sí mismo.
Son todos ejercicios de una gran calidad. De todos modos, ¿tú sabes cuál es la cara que más me gusta?
Es la de la niña que aparece en la cabecera de tu blog, con abejas y girasoles :)
Un beso, saludos.
Gorgeous! You have so much versatility. I especially love No. 5. So much depth and beauty.

Ivy what an amazing project! Your work is so beautiful, I could spend a week on your blog just staring!
I love how you've mixed it up. I can't believe these are all made by one person. I especially love the second one.
