30 Paintings In 30 Days - Day 6

I'm trying to perfect drawing facial features and get the proportions correct. I know every face is different but things like the eyes surely they are the same in every feature.  Studying my face in the mirror I noticed that the whites of the eye were half the width of the iris and that there was no white parts under the iris.  Today's eye study I measured/calculated the distance and I think it looks better than yesterdays study.  I'm still trying to loosen up painting with water colours.

This was day 5 eye study

Day 6  - measured/calculated the whites of the eye against the iris.

Create Art Every Day November Day 1

New month, new challenge.  November's challenge is to create art everyday - check out the details here on the Create Every Day blog.  I did this challenge back in May of this year and found it a little difficult to create something new everyday.  So for this months challenge I have decided to work on one piece of art which will eventually be left in a public space to be picked up and taken to a new home as part of "FLOOD the streets with ART".  The day of abandoning the art work is 28th November or as it's known in the USA as Black Friday.  There are nearly 4000 participants from all over the world.

So this is what I have started today and hope to work on everyday and have it finished for the 28th.  It will be a mixed media piece.  The colours aren't quite right as it's more pink than orange but that will probably change as I work on it.  It measures 12 x 9 inches.
