I am returning to a more realistic face today. I am part of a weekly technique challenge that started today, and the theme this week is to use graphite and acrylic together in one piece. I have drawn a portrait of my hubby on a 12x12 piece of wood. My problem is that I like the drawing so much, I am hesitant to add the paint :). I know that I want to use transparent washes, and leave some of the wood showing through. I also know that I want the pencil to show as well. Hmmmmm....what to do what to do?!?!? Stay tuned tomorrow for some progress :)

Regan, this is AWESOME! I've always struggled with realistic faces which is why I go the whimsical route so often. Looking forward to seeing the direction you take!
hey wow!!! that looks awesome!!! you were so worried to continue with this and it looks so good! i can relate to not wanting to keep going when I like something... has always worked out though so....
go on Ragan, dive into it, its always good to shake things up a bit and do new things! Do it, do it, you know you want to :)
