Good Morning world! One of my favorite new books is Art at the Speed of Life by Pam Carriker. This book is so full of inspiration I can hardly put it down. The work from several artists are depicted in this book along with their technique. Lisa Bebi is one of those artists. My friend took Lisa's paintover class at ArtFEST 3 years ago & we all loved her creations. Basically, Lisa takes a black & white photograph & paint over that picture...a VERY cool little process. This is a pic of my mother from 1930 when she was about 3 years old. I also included the original photo. I was pretty happy with the results except her lips came out a bit more pink than I wanted. I will have to keep practicing! Definitely check out Pam's book..only $13.00 on Amazon & that is a steal! Happy Thursday & please keep those, less fortunate than us, in your thoughts.

Wonderful paint over. And just think she is only your second one. I did the same with my lips, and after doing 4 pictures I now take my pink paint brush and wash the brush in water and use the watery pink left on the brush and that is enough color. Anyway thanks for the gift, and leading me to Lisa bebi again. Xxoo
oh my heavens Diane!!!! this is amazing work....what a great process!!!! I love it!!! I think you need to do more of these....

i am truly honored that you tried my technique and you did a lovely job. not to worry about red lips - they look fine - (its best though to put color on the lower lip only and not all the way to the corners). just tryin' to help.
love your color choices. my favorites. and your mom was a doll.
