I hope Tom Cruise isn't watching :)


This is today's portrait drawing. I used Katie Holmes' picture from a magazine as I liked her smile and thought it was good practice. Yikes! This might be her when she's in her late 40's or early 50's :)

I can't say enough about Misty's online drawing class. It's really gentle persuasion and confidence in all of us that we can achieve our goals.

I probably won't be posting for a couple more days as our next assignment is to work on 3/4 portraits which I just know is going to be a major challenge for me.

Friday we begin painting portraits - WOW!

My personal goal with all of this is to, at least, feel that I can draw a face so I can use in my mixed media art; my own images to include in a painting or collage.

Thinking of you all and hope you are enjoying the long weekend!

I'll be back :) Love to all - Marilyn xxoo
