Making Faces VIII | Black and White Line Face Canvas Wall Art Print

About Making Faces VIII

A single continuous black line sketches a face on a plain white ground. The stroke starts at the jaw, sweeps up the long left cheek, arches across the brow and breaks into a zigzag of spiky hair along the top and right side. Two almond eyes sit under separate curved brows, the right eye finished with a short lash flick. The nose runs down as one unbroken line and finishes in a tight spiral curl beside the mouth, which is drawn as a soft double loop.

The line varies from a dry, broken edge to a thicker loaded mark, so the drawing reads as quick and confident rather than measured. A small signature mark sits in the lower right corner. The character is playful and slightly quizzical, a face caught mid-expression with nothing else in the frame to distract from it.

Works in a bedroom above a timber bedhead, in a home office beside shelving, or in a hallway where a small graphic image can hold a narrow wall. Pairs naturally with another face print from the series, with black metal frames, linen bedding, pale walls and pale oak or rattan furniture.
