Editorial Director Jeannine Stein has this to say about the premiere issue of Faces:

"We know that you, as mixed-media artists, love incorporating portraits in art journals, on canvases, and in textile pieces, with quick sketches or more detailed work. But creating a face can be daunting-how do the features change when expressing happiness or anger? What’s the best way to make lips look realistic? How can you play with proportion? All of those questions and more are answered in these pages. We’ve brought together an array of top artists whose unique styles and techniques will guide you easily through the projects and take your artwork up a few notches."

In the Drawn to Faces section, Dina Wakley uses
sketching and abstract art techniques to create
captivating faces in no time. Using
colored pencils and sharing a few tricks she has
up her sleeve, Jane Davenport shows how to
make eyes the focal point of a portrait. And Debora L. Stewart takes a mixed-media

pastels and paint in her portraits.

Plus, Maritza Hernandez
shows you how to create a collaged face from torn
magazine pages, and Jen Hardwick uses
tart molds, game pieces, and vintage typewriter
keys to build her assemblage portrait.
