Charcoal Acrylics Mixed Media Portrait
Happy New Year dear creative soul! The reason why I haven’t post here lately is simply because I wanted to take a break and stay away from computer during the holiday season as much as I could. I did some pages that are waiting to be published, so stay tuned coz there’s more to come. 😉 In January, I’m planning to post at least two posts per week which are already scheduled to go live at a certain date, and let you know what’s been going on in my art journals or what else is on my easel. I really enjoy painting with limited palette and playing with very few colors just…

And again, lovely charcoal
I drew this right next to the male face, with the intend to color her as I did with him, but I loved how the charcoal blended with gesso and decided to only add some background and leave the face as is. Am desenat fata asta chiar langa cea a barbatului pe care l-ati vazut, avand intentia de a o colora la fel ca pe el, dar mi-a placut cum s-a amestecat grundul alb cu carbunele asa ca am ales sa-i adaug doar un fundal si sa las fata asa cum o vedeti. Still with masculine features if you consider her wide neck and face, she has a captivating look. …

Charcoal sepia mixed media portrait
Sometimes I love to work on loose sheets of paper, like Mixed Media Canson block, the 200 grm (120 lbs) in A5 format 14,8x 21 cm (5.8”x8.3”). This type of paper works pretty good when adding water, and it’s perfect to experience all kind of mixed media techniques. Uneori imi place sa lucrez pe bucati de hartie separata de jurnal, precum cea din blocul Mixed Media Canson ci hartie de 200 gr (120lbs) in format A5 – 14,8×21 cm (5.8”x8.3”). Acest tip de hartie se comporta destul de bine atunci cand este adaugata apa si este perfect pentru experimentarea a diferitelor tehnici mixed media. I wasn’t such a big charcoal…

Portret in charcoal si pasteluri cretate
Un nou inceput de saptamana aduce o noua fata in art jurnalul meu. De data asta este vorba de un portret in charcoal si pasteluri cretate, iar pentru detalii am folosit creioane pastel de la Derwent. Sper deosebire de cel pe care il puteti vedea aici, acesta a fost desenat in “Jurnalul de Barcelona” (format A5 de la Canson) folosind cat mai putine culori. Am folosit doar doua tonuri de maro, alb si negru. Imi place acest stil si aspectul “sters” pe care il lasa pastelurile pe coala de hartie. Singurul dezavantaj al pastelurilor cretate – pe langa faptul ca lasa destul de mult praf pe care risti sa-l inhalezi…

Mixed media page – messy pigtail braids
I have already started a series with these charcoal faces that keep appearing in my art journals. I cannot help but loving this mix between charcoal pencil and acrylic paints more and more. It created a beautiful layer on the face and there are no rules regarding what you are allowed to use or not. So just grab your charcoal pencil and sketch a face, then add acrylic paints and see what you get. You may be surprised to see that the result ain’t that bad after all. Am inceput deja o serie de fete in carbune care tot apar la mine in jurnale. Nu pot decat sa iubesc din ce…
