I tried really hard to get my boys to stand still so that I could trace their shadows. My younger boy stood more still (#12) than my older boy (#13). hehehe They thought it was a cool project and wanted to watch me trace their shadows. After I traced them, the boys went ahead and painted themselves.
I went back over the portrait on the left with a white grease pencil so that we could see the outline better, he had a lot of fun painting ;)
While the boys painted, I also painted. Have I mentioned how much I enjoy painting with my children?
I played a bit with layering and textures, and even snuck a couple of faces into my art to add to my 29 in February tally. I realize that I didn't complete my faces in Feburuary, but I made a commitment, and I am going to get these faces created and blogged about!

ReplyDeleteI used to do that when my kids were little and those are part of their fun memories, you are doing something wonderful.
I want to thank you for being part of the 29 faces challenge, and hope to see you in September!
