The past few days are interesting in that I went from more whimsy, to a sophisticated look, to yet another almost religious look.
Day #16 I've named Polly. She's a little gangily and awkward, but is having fun poolside, modeling her goggles.

The face I dreamt up for Day #17 is rather sophisticated compared to Polly. This gal is confident and I can just see her struttin' her stuff. I thought the nose piercing added some drama, as if the hair across one eye wasn't enough. The background pattern is a simple one that I learned while doing Zentangles.
Lesson learned with this one - make sure to erase any pencil lines before painting, duh. They don't erase well after they have watercolor on them.
Haven't named this one so if anybody reading this has an idea, I'm open!

And finally, Day #18. In this face my goal was to have her head covering be embellished with a Zentangle design to give it a lacy, fabric quality. I think I achieved that. It was also important to me that she be adorned in rich, royal colors. That being accomplished she almost takes on a Madonna-like appearance which was not my intention. Be that as it may, I really like the way this one turned out. I have named her Serenity. A fitting feeling for the end of a rather tiring week.
