Thank you, Thank you, I wanted to paint her again as I saw something in the photo I had not seen before, the emotion and sadness! I hope I managed to capture this look. I think she like your favourite Barbara she was an icon of beauty and acting ability. Unfortunately Barbra was unable to show that to the world only her voice is immortal, whereas Audrey’s image will like Marilyn Monroe’s will go on forever. Merci, j'ai voulu peindre elle encore comme j'ai vu quelque chose dans la photo que je n'avais pas vue avant, l'émotion et la tristesse ! J'espère que je suis parvenu à capturer ce regard. Je pense qu'elle aiment votre favori Barbara qu'elle était une icône de beauté et de capacité temporaire. Malheureusement Barbra ne pouvait pas prouver qu'au monde seulement sa voix est immortelle, tandis que l'image d'Audrey aimera la volonté de Marilyn Monroe continuez pour toujours. :grin: :grin: :) :8)

My work is about content and different. Obrigado, eu não sei sobre excelente mim tento fazer meu trabalho diferente. Eu gosto de sua galeria e eu encontro Oil' s muito difícil eu tentei então há muitos anos e não tive nenhuma paciência por o tempo onde de secagem de espera eu observo agora que há rapidamente óleos de secagem eu tenho pastéis e varas do óleo do uso.

very beautiful :) well it's obvious that she is sad , those tears show her emotions and her eyes , her mouth which is open kind a brings it out too , you just have to find that :) beautiful glossy lips , i am always impressed how you do lips and eyes and how you chose colors , it's so interesting to watch your portraits :) there's something more than just a beautiful portrait :) beautiful cold blue too :)

 brainfree - 26/09/09, 09:46 reply
Thank you, that’s very observant of you I must have done my job well if you can see that. As far as the colours of lips I have a formula I work one tone lighter than I first think of so I look at shadow and place that first the a slightly lower tone and then a light tone three always three. Inside the mouth I used the same formula but I always add orange I have a light and dark orange it depends on the shadow again. The blue is my under colour I start with here it needed nothing apart from painting a little over the top of the ear. It's funny because the top of the ear was the most difficult to do! and it shows very little on the scan painting. On the real one it shows depth and translucentness a big word meaning see through look. Your Art appreciation is excellent now, you pick out the things I think of when painting. Isn't it better than just saying very good or good because you learn from my thoughts. :grin: :8)

 brainfree - 26/09/09, 10:04 reply
Thank you, Tears are difficult when you start doing them, but done once they become easy, it's to do with the choice of flesh tone and whether the light falls on the area, where they are going to be. My first tears were on Duffy and I did not get the face tone right, like here so it takes thought as we draw the first drawing to study the light and plan it before the application of paint. :grin: :8)

My first tears were on Duffy and I did not get the face tone right, like here so it takes thought as we draw the first drawing to study the light and plan it before the application of paint. I have repeated what I have said to Jeanette only to add about the eye colour I wanted to bring more light into the Iris so I pulled light blue through the white shine but kept then black apart from that. I was to show the under colour in her eyes. I love painting it's so satisfying and it give great pleasure. :grin: :8)

 Nihale - 26/09/09, 10:44 reply

Merci, les larmes sont difficiles quand vous commencez à les faire, mais fait une fois qu'elles deviennent faciles, it' ; s à faire avec le choix de la tonalité de chair et si la lumière tombe sur le secteur, où elles vont être. Mes premières larmes étaient sur Duffy et je n'ai pas obtenu la droite de tonalité de visage, comme ici ainsi elle fait appel à la pensée pendant que nous dessinons le premier schéma pour étudier la lumière et pour la prévoir avant l'application de la peinture. :grin: :8)

 Bea - 26/09/09, 21:49 reply
oui c'est très difficile de dessiner des larmes :thumbup: :hi:

 brainfree - 29/09/09, 07:59 reply
Aucun non difficile de peindre des larmes en tant que lui pour faire avec les tonalités autour, ne prend juste une petite planification, a mis la première fois une peu de couleur de fond sur le bord de côté d'ombre, puis la peinture blanche sur le bord latéral léger. J'emploie le blanc de gouache qui fait voir à travers la qualité. Une fois qu'appris lui devient facile mais regarde difficile il est également possible au travail de crayon utilisant les mêmes principes. Brian, :grin: :8)

Thank you, from one great artist to another. When I was younger my greatest wish was to be able to draw or paint things as I saw them it has taken 50 years to finally get my wish but the aim is always to be better still learning still listening and practicing. A true artist makes people weep or laugh with pleasure I still strive for this. brainfree. :grin: :8)
