29 faces

The Poet
No 1

While I was thinking of ways to slow down this month, I also felt the urge to mix things up. I’ve decided to sign up for the 29 Faces challenge. This will be mixing the old with the new. The old being painting faces, since it was my subject of choice for many years. The new will be using knives only, no brushes. I want to keep it loose and fun.

To make it even more challenging, I’m going to borrow Jane Spakowsky’s 20 minute painting idea from a couple years ago. I’m setting a timer, and I get x amount of minutes per painting. I will probably vary the amount of time I give myself each day, but no more than 20 minutes. Some days I might only get 5 minutes, depending on how much time I have to spare. When I hear the alarm, I’m putting the knife down, and I’m done. I won’t be fussing or fretting over how it looks like I usually do when painting faces. It will be what it is, and that’s that.

I’m not going to blog every day, but I will post every painting, good, bad or ugly each Wednesday. If I still like doing it at the end of the month, I might make it a weekly thing. We’ll see.

February should be an interesting month. Hope you stick around. Let me know if you’re doing 29 faces in the comments, so I can visit your blogs.
