A more abstract face today, made with kitchen Aluminium foil!
I am participating in the 29 face challenge and coming up with a new face every day means I am having lots of fun with whatever I can find lying around.
I first glued some scrunched up pieces of foil onto heavy watercolour board.
I then covered the whole page in another piece of foil and using a teaspoon pressed it down firmly. The relief of the facial features shows through the top coat of foil.. The whole piece is then covered with a coat of metallic copper acrylic paint. I wiped off areas so the foil shows through.
And then with darker acrylic added some shadow to the features. I really like the shimmery metal surface.

very creative of you!
Your faces are fabulous, I have so much admiration for the 29 face challenge. I started my own personal challenge with slightly different rules because I love faces and I'm too busy to keep up.
ReplyDeletelove the textures..bit scary eyes
ReplyDeleteThis is so clever! You are definitely the most creative mixed media artist!
ReplyDeleteHow interesting! I really like the shimmer and the texture.
ReplyDeleteDo you know what I have started to save? You guessed it, aluminum foil. I usually reuse it till it can't cover anything anymore, and then I recycle it, but now, oh no, I am saving every last piece! Thanks for the instructions how to do this! I am going to show my students, I hope one of them goes for the the idea. We are going to create planet art stimulated by the music composer Gustav Holst. If anyone tries the idea, I will let you know.
ReplyDeleteA lovely face. It suits the technique so well, and the way the light shines off it is effective. I like the way you created the features with the scrunched up pieces underneath. A good one for the 29 Faces.
