For my challenge I will not but using the prompts from the official page. I decided to tailor it to my weaknesses in order to really learn from the experience. So I am choosing to do semi- realistic portraits. (Not my forte at all). I want to practice better brush control. I will be using color but only 2 & mixing them per painting.
My Supplies:

Higgins Ink - This is the one thing I am comfortable with in the challenge. I have been using Higgins for 14 years. I love them!

(I am not sponsored or anything, I just love them!) If you want to check them out:

A flat brush & a fine detail brush - I consider myself a sloppy painter. I hope that by the end of this challenge I will have honed in a little bit.

Masking fluid & application tools - I have no Idea what possessed me to throw this into my challenge. I have 0 experience. This is my first time ever using it. Things are gonna get messy!

Mixed media paper - I am starting out with this to see how far I can push it with the washes. I may switch to watercolor paper by the end.

For my first one I wanted to try a crazy expression. I usually draw plain expressions. It was a lot of fun!

Colors used in this Video: Purple & Blue
