a little portrait marathon...

anyone who's ever taken a course with Misty Mawn

knows how much she loves and uses the Stabilo Mark All pencil 

and the Stabilo Woody.

i searched high and low for those pencils and finally had some shipped from the US. 

 now i know why Misty loves them so much! 

i went back to a Full Circle assignment where she uses the pencils specifically

and white acrylic

to paint some "no reference" portraits. 

and then... i just couldn't stop. 

10 in 2 days!

getting in the flow and letting them roll out of me

was a really interesting experience and process to observe. 

more details tomorrow...
