Thank you for sharing your work. I love the faces and have been looking for some inspiration. Have you considered making a huge face and cutting it up to create mini canvases. They’d be great for children to interact with too. “Can you find the chin?” So cute! I’m going to try and make some for my grandsons bedroom! 💚

@pamhemmerling 4 күн бұрын
@@karmengia72 Hi Gisele, The reason mine are not sticking together in the storage box is that I did not put a coat of matte medium on top. It is not a good idea to do that because now they are not sealed and could easily tear or scrape (and a few have). I thought I might eventually apply cold wax or even encaustic as a sealant but I have not done that. I think using wax paper is the best idea.

@pamhemmerling 26 күн бұрын
Hi Ara, I would do a "wash" over the colors in either a raw umber or another dark-ish color to dull them down. It also will unify your colors and gives a great effect. Basically how I do it is to water down the raw umber (even if it is a fluid) and use a large paintbrush to cover the area then wipe it off with a paper towel or rag. You can repeat this until you get the look you want. I hope that helps.
