It's time for week 1 of our August "Out of the Journal" challenge. If you have a piece of art to share, post a comment with the link. I'll amend this post & add the links to it so we can all ooh and aah over your creations!
This is 9x12...a basic face, which is what I seem to be obsessed with lately.
Link me up to your art!












Awesome..........Beautiful work!!!

Okay - I'm going to play. I just bought a 6x12 canvas and have a plan for it. Plus, I'm taking an Alisa Burke class this month which should give me some ideas.

I put some of my gelatin prints into frames - where people can see them! Go figure!

Your face is really rather fabulous - LOVE those colours and her expression. I too tried a face but, of course, with rather less skill and style!! I totally enjoyed taking part, thank you for the inspiration :)
See you next week!

I'm a bit late but I got there in the end. Loving your faces... I am gonna have to have a go at at doing some loose ones and not taking it so seriously. You always seem to have such fun with your art x
