face painting

I have a secret wish to paint faces. Good ones I mean. In my head I know exactly how they would come out, but outside my head they tend not to…

This video has me mesmerised, not just by the end result but by how the painting comes together apparently effortlessly, layer upon layer, light to dark. I love the combination of loose and drippy and tight and perfect. I tried something similar myself after watching it; suffice to say no human being will ever lay eyes on that one!

You can see more of Agnes-Cecile’s beautiful faces here.

I'd love it if you'd share!
