Picasso Inspired Face

Posted on April 20, 2017 | 20 Comments

I was inspired by Picasso to create this face:

I studied several photos of Picasso before I drew a sketch in pencil. I colored my sections with oil pastels, using two different colors on top of each other. Next, I scratched into the oil pastels with the end of a mechanical pencil to create the patterns.

I finished it by cutting out the face with scissors. Oil pastels are a bit messy but I had fun experimenting!

It reminds me of one of my doodles…

Cheers! 🙂

That’s fabulous, Jill! You’ve given me an idea. I’m halfway through a collage and don’t want to use paper for the background. I could do hills using oil pastels stratched through. Thanks!
