THE BLANK CONTEMPORARY ART
99 WORDS WITH SARAH FAUX
How to avoid painting a face:
Paint the head turned away.
Just paint a different body part.
Cut the body off at the shoulders.
Cut it off at the legs too, make it seem more natural, so it’s not just the head missing.
A torso can be a face.
A face can be a landscape.
Throw an arm over that face.
Draw a cartoon face where the face should be.
Only paint shadows.
Leave it blank.
