face study

These were some quick face studies I painted to test a certain color palette. I also learned a lot about the different blending options within Corel Painter 8 and began to challenge myself to paint less with lines and more with value! I remember experiencing some lovely freedom when I no longer felt bound to lines to define form:)

If you look closely, the color scheme in both paintings is exactly the same. The one on the top is simply inverted! I thought it looked cool:) Good times!
