Thanks Miriam I love painting faces, it’s like putting make up on. I think I work better teaching myself because otherwise I would overthink everything. 😬🐣
I know! In watercolor class, I spent the whole hour to mix the color to match a portrait I attempted to draw and paint. I didn’t like my drawing, so didn’t get to the painting part! sigh 😦
I take watercolor class, I paint in class. But I added poetry class. I may just water youtube for painting and drop the class! I painted one – acrylic on canvas by watching youtube!
Oh wow. Simply gorgeous! I have bought materials this year to start “learning” how to paint. Have not found time yet, but seeing the beauty you have created just makes me want to try!
Elaine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is SPECTACULAR! OMG OMG your totally brilliant! just WOW! You need to create a page to start selling your art. That painting would sell in a heart beat!
it’s brilliant! It is not easy to do faces and you did an awesome job. The painting on black, her face was beautiful as well, you managed to capture feelings, and that is incredible, not easy by any means so that you have come this far this soon is astounding and wonderful!
I have always wore make up so I just paint the face as if I am putting make up on, shading down the side of the nose and the cheek bones. The beauty of it is that I can paint over it time and time again that way lots of colours build up and do the shading for me. 🐣
WOW!!!! I see you are now painting on a black background. I must say, this is lovely. The expression is so lovely. I feel like she is saying, “There! There! Come here now”. Ha Ha! Loved it.
That made me smile 🙂 I love trying to put emotions in to my paintings. Eyes have always fascinated me. I’ve never tried working with dark coloured eyes before, I love them. 😍
I’m still learning the drawing of portrait. You portrait is very good and shows in this Japanese painting!
