Abstract faces art journal



 I have 18 abstract faces on display at Stockton Art league's Elsie Mae Goodwin Gallery for the months of August and September.  After the dog home  hospice was behind me, and the new little sweetheart is settling in, I needed a new project.  I had a new Strathmore mixed media journal, and thought I'd do a series of abstract faces in this smaller size. 5.5 x 8.5 inches.  I did the first one on August 15th.   Because it's a mixed media paper, I could use acrylics, watercolors, colored pencils, or any other supplies.  I started with Posca Pens to test the paper.  The first pages I gessoed first, thinking it was probably necessary.  I will be posting more pictures from this journal which is almost full already.
