'Butterfly garden, mixed media, craft paper, A4
'Green sundress', gouache and pan pastels, 10 by 8 ins., paper
'Renaissance fair lady', pastels pencils, A4. pastel paper
'Bantock park man', graphite pencil, 5 by 4 ins., sketchbook paper.
Butterfly garden: distress inks, pan pastels and other inks. Surface was a yellow ochre craft paper. Its a very nice paper for making tags etc. Unfortunately, the shop where I bought the pad is gone.
Green dress: Gouache on girl, pan pastels for the blue background. I don't use gouache much but I have a lovely box of caran d'ache gouache bought several years ago and it might be a good idea to get them out more often and upgrade my skills with this medium.
Renaissance lady: pastel pencils. A bit messy to use. Another medium I don't use much. I used the trois crayon colour scheme ( sanguin, white, black), used by artists of the past.....as I thought it fitted the Renaissance theme. This drawing was based on a photo of a lady in the RIL at wetcanvas
Bantock park man: good old HB pencil! Sketch based on a photo I took myself, a few years ago.
These are faces 10, 11, 12 and 13 for the #29faces project this month. Good to keep practising...even when not in the mood.
Thanks for looking/commenting.
Bye for now.

Your drawings are great. I do like the different methods you are using. I good idea to get out the materials that you have but never seem to use.
