hopefuly you´ve missed me as much as I missed being here :)
The fact is that my mom had an angioplasty last January 20 and I thought I would be able to handle taking care on her and on myself, working, bloging and life but I couldn´t ...
I was averwhelmed by all sort of stuff like my beloved kitty Tobias having an urinary obstruction, and I was out of power for 5 days with the worst heat wave in our history and I live in a 7th floor - I´m not kiding- I swear!
For this first one I used just watercolors, I´m challenging myself to use different art supplies and techniques, in fact that´s the point of 29 faces art challenge:)
The 2nd one is on my new art journal :)
I used graphite, did some collage and journaling
I really really enjoyed this one so much, expect more on this style during the challenge.

My mom is one of my best friends, with my 41 years I learned that she´s a wise woman first because she has the experience of a hole life and second because she loves me like no other being in this world.
Yesterday we were drinking some coffee in our favorite coffee store, just talking about every day life issues and she told me a few words that really meant a hole world for me, specially coming from her.
She told me "you need to start painting Mandalas again..."
The last months I draw and paint as crazy but I was focused in other tipe of paintings, I work a lot in mix media and portraits.
The quote says: "you are perfect" "you are Loved"
But moms are wise...so I follow her advice and started this one yesterday night.
Hello everyone! I know, I know...it has been a lifetime since I did my last post here, but I´m back!! The news are that I´ve join the 29 Faces in May challenge by Ayala DeHarris and I´m having such a good time there!! Did you already join?..if you didn´t you have to jump in there. It´s a great opportunity to challenge yourself and sketch, draw or paint every day a new face.
Here are mines until now:
Day 1: The quote says "Live one day at a time"
I used watersoluble crayons, white acrylic and watercolor pencils
and I did a video of this one too!
Day 2:
This one is still in process...I don´t know why I didn´t finish it yet
I used gesso for the background (it´s an altered book) and Tombow marquers
Day 3:
Sketch with pencil
Day 4:
Sketch with pencil
Day 5: You are Unique
Collage over canvas. I used acrylics and some pitt marquers for the flowers and add the quote with photoshop ;)
I think I need to improve my skills in painting faces so I´ll try to do more painting, what do you think?
BIG NEWS MY NEW WORKSHOP IS ARRIVING SOON!
I´m working on a new workshop about painting this kind of characters
