Will She Be a Swan??

I'm busy getting everything ready for the First Friday Art Class tomorrow. So just a quick picture of a face I'm working on. This is actually a demo for class tomorrow. We are painting in a method I call the "Coloring Book Method"...more on that later.

Every painting or drawing goes through an ugly stage. I find that my people paintings look very strange and over-simplified until I start adding color. Maybe 'strange' isn't the right word because, let's be honest, my people paintings always look a bit strange. So I guess 'ugly' is the proper choice.

So right now she doesn't look like much, but once I get some color on her, she'll be down right purdy...or at least endearingly quirky.
