Renowned for her vibrant use of acrylic paint and block colours, Spanish artist Coco Dávez's striking Faceless works are a smooth blend of rich, contrasting colours, and dark shadows.
Kids enjoying the Coco Faceless Masterclass before lockdown
Earlier in the year, before lockdown, Coco Dávez ran a series of art workshops in partnership with Maddox Gallery and Love Art Kids Classes, encouraging adults and kids alike to get creative with templates from her Faceless series.
"Faceless brings together the joy of colours and my comic side, it's my creative engine. Some people have an aura around them, a specific colour that expresses who they are." - Coco
We have now made these templates available so that you can download them to print at home. Simply click here or on the link at the bottom of the article to download all 6 templates.

When thinking about the best way to colour the templates, Lily from Love Art Kids Classes gives the following advice;
1. Go bold on colour choices, don't ask anyone if 'these colours go'. If you like them together then they go.
2. Use a thinner brush when you get close to the lines, it will make it easier to stay inside them.
3. Choose colours that represent that person or yourself.
4. For older children acrylic paint gives a great, smooth effect that lends itself beautifully to Coco's work. Little ones stick to poster paint as acrylic can stain!
