Handsome Blackbeard

11x8.5 alcohol inks on deli/freezer paper done Saturday as one of the demos at Midland Palette Club.  This is another in my Blackbeard series of abstract contemporary men as I love men and love black beards.  I did give this guy a moustache whereas the others didn't have one.

Brownbeard

8x10 alcohol inks on paper done today, another imaginary bearded man to go with the first one posted two days ago, Blackbeard.  This ugly fellow's ear was the beginning shape I used after putting Burro Brown, Ginger, Yellow, and Havana Brown down then blowing with canned air.  Cotton swabs dipped in 91% alcohol were used along with a chopstick for removal and making lines.  Mantilla black and Ginger make up his beard while Tangerine highlights the nose.  A new light blue ink was put around the eyes and top of ear.
