My Share This Week...
I'm still enjoying discovering artists that are new to me and today I'm 'In The Style Of' another surrealist Bridget Bate Tichenor. Her faces are wonderfully expressive and, to me, a little creepy too. I tried three of her faces in my art journal and then blocked out the negative space with gesso. I'm actually drawing in ball point pen, biro, a lot at the moment so these guys were all done with a ballpoint pen.
Over To You...
Link your faces artwork and spread the word on your blog and/or social media, hashtag #ShowYourFaceFriday. Please do let anyone you think would be interested in sharing their portraits know about our community here.
Catch you later Face-Artinators

These faces are really powerful. I love how they seem to float eerily in the white space. I am discovering lots of new artists through this theme, Kim. Thank you so much for sharing. I will probably link up on Saturday this week, as life has been a bit hectic! x
ReplyDeleteSuper expressive Kim! Great new artist to me - Thank you!
ReplyDeleteOMG, some of these faces are downright scary!
ReplyDeleteBridget Bate Tichenor was a beautiful woman. Your faces are very much like her work! Well done!
ReplyDeleteI am so loving all the "introductions" to new for me artists...thank you so much for this. :) It's such great fun. :)
ReplyDeleteI think her faces are a little creepy, too! But you did a really good job of imitating her style--and you stopped before they got too creepy, I think. :-)
ReplyDeleteNo 23 looks like a voodoo figure, it's enough to scare the pants off anybody.
