Day 9: face paint

Decided to face paint manny's face for day 9! He wanted to fulfill his childhood fantasies and get his face painted like a wrestler.










Fun!

Day 8. Freezer Paper Stencil Experiment

Face(s) of Day 8 = fun, fun, fun.

I got to:

• create stencils out of freezer paper. *


• play with the effects of alcohol on acrylic paint*


• spray paint

*Links of Tutorials

The process.

Cut.

To make the stencil I first sketched the first face (left) with pencil (on the dull side of the freezer paper). Then I cut out shapesfrom the sketch with an x-acto knife.After the first face, I realized I found the sketching--->cutting process tobe tedious, so I free-handed --with the x-acto knife -- the second face, the one in the blue (see the finished photo below).

Iron

I ironed the stencils onto the canvas, then started to paint. I had no real concept to work off of so I just winged it.

Paint

Spray Paint, Acrylics, Paper Towels, Drips, Mix

Peel!

After paint dried, I peeled the stencil off.

Although it didn't turn out as crisp and neat as I'd hope I like the effects created by the acrylic- alcohol- water mix. Also, freezer paper stencil are supposed to work best on fabric,  so I don't think primed canvas was the ideal surface for the stencil to seal onto. Either way, I'm digging freezer paper.

Day 7

Didn't have time to upload my face last night, so here it is today!

I'm not sure if I really like the result, but I guess that is part of the whole process of this project, being okay with things I create even if it doesn't come out as I'd imagined.



I used polymer clay and acrylics to make this. There is something easier and more satisfying about working with clay or materials I can manipulate with my hands than working with paint and a brush. I am definitely going to explore that medium more.

Day 5

Sewed this felt face/ iPhone case. Tonight it made a special appearance at the aero club.

Day 4: Multi-faced Beer Box

Day 4

To break through creative frustration I decided to face a beer box, or some may say deface a beer box, for day 4.

It all began as I was sitting in my kitchen, thinking long and hard about my face of the day. I looked to my right, saw the beer box... & thought "Why not??"

Maybe the beer just loosened me up.

These are the results:

Day 2 of my Face-a-day project. I added the dude in sunglasses to a big canvas I started painting on with Manny a couple Valentine's Days ago.

Day 1: a face on a bottle

Why Why Whit Whit

I am doing a {face a day} daily art project where the objective of my project is to create a face, a day, for a year.

This project was sparked from a gift i received on my 24st birthday this year.

So thank you Sun for giving me the book that inspired this, and for always being such a source of creative inspiration, education, love and acceptance for me.... And thank you Man-Man for being an ever-encouraging part of my innovative process.
