What a difference!

Thought it would be fun to show a now and then photo of faces I did. The upper portion of the photo shows one of the first faces I did (back in 2001) and the lower portion shows a face I painted this year. I've come a long way in four years! You can too! Just practice, practice, practice.

Now and then

It also helps to have some good books and some good teachers to learn from!
My picks are:
Sherry Goshon's Watercolor Faces book
Patti Culea: Creative Cloth Doll Faces

One of the best instructional packets I have is from Anne-Marie Brombal but you can't get it anymore. Awesome step by step photos.

Sigh - I think even the FIRST one is pretty! But you really have learned diminsion & shading! MAYBE there's hope for ME! Ya' think? Is the second one needle sculpted? I haven't mastered that technique. Come to think of it, I haven't mastered MANY techniques! You are a pro! I'm a work in progress. LOL! Thanks for showing us these so we can SEE what happens if we DO practice our craft the way YOU have!

Judi,
Your first doll face is very sweet. But yes you have come a long way and you keep taking those long strides. You do amazing work.
Have a Merry Christmas
hugs
