For this week's Friday Face OFF link party
of art featuring faces, hosted by Nicole of
DVArtist, Art, Food, Gardening blog . . .
Here's a drawing of Audrey Hepburn
that I did a couple of months ago
in my ink and wash art class.
I drew her in water-soluble black ink
which then, through use of a wet brush,
became the source of the ink wash for shading.
I should have used a lighter touch
with the ink wash on her ear.
It looks kind of sore and inflamed.
Sorry, Audrey!

She is beautiful; well done 🎭🧡
ReplyDelete...I'm sure that she doesn't mind!!!
ReplyDeleteYou did a very nice job. I don't think the ear looks bad, just very shadowed.
ReplyDeleteLovely.
ReplyDeleteAnd this is how we learn! Love it!
ReplyDeleteLooks good!
ReplyDeleteWow, you really captured Audrey. Wonderful work Debra.
ReplyDeleteVery good
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and I didn't even notice the ear until you mentioned it. You're an excellent artist!
ReplyDeleteJust want to thank you for the link to Waging non-violence. I will share it with friends and neighbors.
ReplyDeleteVery nice.
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't think I've seen her portrayed with her eyes closed before...
XOXO
She was such a lovely person.
ReplyDeleteAudrey would love this!
ReplyDeleteAudrey is a star, the people never forget! A wonderful drawing indeed.
ReplyDeletePossibly, but I couldn't begin to do something as good as that.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fabulous portrait, love it. Her ear is just in shadow. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteNice one!
ReplyDeleteHa! I didn't notice the "inflammation" till you pointed it out -- and really, I think you're selling yourself short. It's lovely, Debra. And thank you for coming by today, too!
ReplyDeleteThose eyes! Moody and memorable.
ReplyDeleteThumbs UP!
ReplyDeleteAudrey Hepburn had such a lovely face that she was one of very few people who could looked great wearing a very short pixie hair cut.
ReplyDeleteI think your drawing is great.
ReplyDeleteLovely portrait of Audrey Hepburn ~ you captured her 'essence' ~ hugs,
ReplyDeleteWishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

Nice job but yes the ear does look a bit inflammed. Maybe she froze it? Did you watch Breakfast at Tiffanys? I hated it and quit half way through. Cannot stand mindless female characters. Loved her in My Fair Lady and have yet to watch Roman Holiday
ReplyDelete@ The Blog Fodder -- You know, I've never seen "Breakfast at Tiffanys" or "Roman Holiday." I should get around to watching them someday. I have seen "My Fair Lady" though and enjoyed her performance and (dubbed) singing.
DeletePoor Audrey and her inflamed ear - that cracked me up.
ReplyDeleteIt's obvious who it is, despite the inflamed ear! Your talent is amazing.
ReplyDeleteAH a personal hero. A brave woman.
ReplyDeleteWow! She is gorgeous. I have never tried the water-soluble black ink. It has a very nice effect. Thank you for sharing with FFO and have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteWonderful drawing. I really the like the ink and wash style
ReplyDeleteI thought her ear was in shade so it didn't look too dark to me.
ReplyDeleteI doubt she'd be insulted. She'd be honored. It looks like a sophisticated and striking Audrey to me. You capture her well.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Debra! Her ear looks like an elf ear. I'm thinking Arwen.
ReplyDeleteI think she is lovely; well done my friend!
ReplyDeleteWell, you sure draw way better than I do.
ReplyDeletei often praise your art with hubby as i truly find it awesome dear Debra
ReplyDeletethis painting isn't the exception for sure
despite ear she looks wonderfully done wow!!!!!
