 There's nothing like talking to yourself without the camera on. We are back to working in the Four Faces Journal. We have a playlist for creating these faces in this journal. It started out as a quick and easy way to demo a new product I have in my Etsy store which is intended to help you create quick and easy faces. It's just a basic face. There's no hair or anything. It just has basic features. Just to get you started if you're unsure about putting faces in your journals, this is Four Faces One full on straight on face in different shapes and you can leave it as it is or you can cut it apart which I did here with this one. We do have a brand new one which now I have to untape because yeah the camera wasn't on. This is Four Faces Two and this is profile and three quarter face based on my face and my husband's face. There we go. So this is Four Faces Two. We're going to use this one today. I'm going to I mostly have been drawing with the stencils. You of course can do the traditional paint with the stencils. Of course you can. But I wanted to show you how else you can use your stencils especially this one. It's meant to be sort of a drawing slash painting guide. So what we're going to do with this one is we are going to watercolor with it. You could put it down here and then trace it with a pencil or a water soluble pencil or a crayon. I'm going to show you something a little bit different. The first thing I'm going to do is you're going to need some of this pixie spray which is a light tack repositionable adhesive intended for stencils. I got this from Amazon. I'll link it in the description below. I'm going to spray the back of this corner of the stencil and I'm going to leave it sit for just a second. First we're going to do a wash. Let's get a large flat brush and let's do a wash on the paper of... Let's do coral. I almost never use this coral color. It's such a pretty color which is why I have it. So we're going to put some of that on there and then we're going to put some water. Now this is 70 pound drawing paper. It is not watercolor paper so you don't want to scrub too much because it's going to do weird things to your paper. We're going to let that dry and I'll be right back. As it's 70 pound drawing paper it's going to do this when you watercolor with it. Some of the best watercolor paper on the planet will do that too. It doesn't bother me. If it bothers you use different paper. This is just practice. So now we're going to spray the back of our stencil over the garbage can dry for a minute and while it's drying we're going to figure out what color we're going to use next which might be... I don't know. It might do very contrasty color. I'll put this on here. It should stick fairly well. This would probably work with acrylic paint too. Just FYI. Okay so color color color while that sits there. I think I'm going to follow my instincts and go with this dark sort of navy blue and just because I use the adhesive doesn't mean that I really want to have my brush be dripping, sopping wet. So I'm going to make sure that there's not a lot of excess water on the brush. I'm going to take my rag and I'm going to blot the excess and then I'm going to lift carefully. Let's move zoom in. This just gives you an outline right? That's all we wanted. So then I'm going to take a smaller round brush. Let's see. Some other colors of paint. watercolor paint. I have this teal-y color here that's below the dark blue. If that part of the face is in shadow this right here would be in light. The warm color will suggest light. The dark color will suggest shadow. If you lose track of the light and the warmth don't feel bad about having to go back in with a white pencil or maybe even something that's more this coral color and barely barely barely touching the paper just FYI. Alternating between bringing in some more color and then cleaning the brush off and grabbing just water to spread the color around. I'm going to dry that. I'll be right back. Okay you can still go in with a white gel pen and a black ballpoint pen should you desire to do so. Because remember what did I just say about us being mixed media artists right? And the stencil is supposed to be a guide. It's not supposed to be something that's set in stone. So wherever you think there should be a highlight that it's too dark add some white gel pen and you're going to come up with something like that. I like that. I'm going to stop now. There you go. So four faces stencils. There's two of them now and I may at some point if the demand is there make them full size instead of just these small ones. I may make the face as full size. There are some other face stencils in my Etsy shop. In fact there's another basic face stencil. So take a look around. The link for the Etsy shop is in the description below. I hope this gives you some ideas of what you can do with the stencils and or with the supplies that you have on hand. Different ways that you can use the things that you already own because that's one of the points of this. Let me zoom out. Okay because that's one of the points of this is to do some different show me to have me show you some different things that you can do with the stuff that you already own to have fun with your art to practice in a little journal. Nobody has to see it. This is just a little small little journal little notebook that I made in the beginning and you know it's pretty cute. Anyway that's it for today.
