Use PanPastel over stencil to transfer design.
Mix main color choice (I'm using Mustard Seed from my line of Fluid Matt Sheer acrylics) with black to create the 'shade' of your main color and add this to the shadowed areas of the face. Work quickly so the paint stays wet.
Mix the main color of paint with white to create the 'tint' of that color and add some mid-tones to the face.
Continue adding white paint and blending the paint on the face.
Finish off with some journaling.
Even if you’ve never drawn faces, have no fear!
Pam’s stencils allow you to draw faces from your imagination without a model or photo in front of you.
Are you ready to combine, layer, experiment and mix media to make unique portraits?

ReplyDeleteAwesome giveaway! I'd like to win because I would love to learn to do faces.

Thank you for making this available!

ReplyDeleteI would like to win because i have been intimidated to try mixed media portraits.I hope these stencils can give me an encouraging start.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome giveaway. I want it.
ReplyDeleteI have been making sketches of portraits from Pam's book but I haven't been able too get them to look like anyone I want with any predictability. The stencils would be a great help in getting the head shape closer to what I'm hoping for. I'll keep sketching but using the stencils would give me the confidence to bring them into my work.

ReplyDeleteI would love to win this fabulous prize, I shy away from Portraits in any of my journals because my drawing lacks confidence. Thanks for a chance to win!
ReplyDeleteMaybe being the last to enter might bring me luck?!! I love these stencils; they would really help some of my students who feel inadequate drawing self-portraits-the form would allow them to personalize it without worrying about the "correct" shape.
ReplyDeleteShine on!
