What a very long weekend of painting with a roller. Thank goodness the decorating is over. So here's a few portraits for day 16 and 17. I've tried a mixed media for a change. Watercolour background, acrylic face, a paper flower cut out and stuck down from a garden magazine and charcoal for the hair and some of the detail. A darker skin tone than I've ever tried before but it's pretty good for a first attempt. I recently watched a film from 1979 called The Warriors and I took an image of the main female role as reference and inspiration. Looks nothing like her.
For my second photo of the day. There's some success and some points I would like to work on if I had had the time. Black and white acrylic on A5 mixed media paper. Again, a first. First time portrait in black and white acrylic.

Two more to do tomorrow. I might be caught up by Wednesday. I already have the portraits in mind to do from Paint my Photo. Another monotone in acrylic and a charcoal with an acrylic background. That's the plan anyway.
