Doll Fashionista

Sometime in the summer my Mum and I spent a weekend creating a doll from the Doll Fashionista book. http://www.thedollloft.com/. We got as far as putting the body together. I have now only just had time to complete her. She is my fourth. There are some things about her that I like and some things I would do differently next time. I like her hair, using felt, using a mask to position the features. I didn't like painting the felt because it went bobbly and the face is OK but her nose is the width of mine and her face is only about 6 inches across!

I've finished my first painting from Paulette Insall's all about painting class. I thought she looked a littl sad so the words are "She contemplated her future, it looked bleak".

Lesson 5 is about hair (hair and eyebrows). Looking at the photo here has made me realise that I want to even out the left and right hand side of the top.

By the end of lesson three we have a picture with the basic shading done on the face. A lot more is to come in later lessons. More detailed shading will be don with watercolour crayons.

This is my face in progress. At the beginning of lesson three in Paulette Insall's All about faces workshop we trace the sketch on to the canvas.
