Thank you, one week, longer than some relationships I've had. I've tried to top the shower painting of her for sometime. All skills and techniques. I list them below. On to the next.
Thank you, I had to make it perfect for some reason, I work on it for about a week. It's all skills that I've picked up. Starting with the glasses, shinny skin, cracked Lips, spot green in the eye, blue shadow tone in the top left coner of the glasses and finally the crinkly hair. Of course to do all of them without a lose of likeness.
Thank you, I have a bit of a technique with glasses. Watercolour is all techniques and small skills, I did this painting to see how far I could push the shine on the face and glasses. I had to take the skin tone down and down, but lighten the background and hair. I hope it works.
Thank you, originality, technique and likeness all my aims. Honesty as well, because although some of my painting come start from my head, this was a photograph to start, I just looked at the image and made it into art. It's up to others to decide on good and bad! I'm just glad you like it.
Thank you, I like your Rosario Dawson drawing. A tip the paper must be very thick for ink 200grams or is doesn't settle (flatten black). I would use black water colour very dry with a chinese brush.
Thank you, I'm glad you like it! I like your Dustin Hoffman drawing, in fact I think it has inspired me to do a painting of my own. You write excellent English.
Grazie, I' m. felice la gradite! Gradico la vostra illustrazione di Dustin Hoffman, in effetti io penso che lo abbia ispirato fare una pittura dei miei propri.
Thank you, Although I use mainly watercolour, I used a little Acrylic on this painting, it was on the eyes at the beginning, then after it dried, I over washed the sunglasses colour yellow ochre with watercolour. I found acrylics to be for me to quick drying and permanent. As far as being talented I‘ve enjoyed art all my life 61 years and have learnt many skills and techniques. My passion is to encourage people to enjoy art and be original, like all ability in improves with time and practice. If I can help, just ask.
Thank you, perfect would you like to see my throw away bin. I liked this painting from start to finish. Mainly because I hoped I might manage to upstage the shower painting I did of her. I love taking my time, but whilst painting her, I also painted 12 others a little quicker.
Thank you, I took my Time, I used every skill I have. Light and shade, tone, colour balance on the lips and most important for me likeness. I enjoyed doing it and I like it myself.
A spectacular work my dear friend brainfree, an entire work teacher like those that presents in their gallery, pardon my English is not so good it excuses my errors when expressing me, I hope to allow myself to understand.
Thank you, I took my Time, I used every skill I have. Light and shade, tone, colour balance on the lips and most important for me likeness. I enjoyed doing it and I even like it myself. I'm glad you like it. If you send your message in spanish and English I can intrupret into english.
Gracias, tardé mi tiempo, yo utilicé cada habilidad que tengo. Luz y cortina, tono, balance del color en los labios y la más importante para mí semejanza. Gocé el hacer de ella y de I incluso como él misma. I' m alegre usted tiene gusto de él. Si usted envía su mensaje en español e inglés puedo intrupret en inglés.
Very nice work. I really like the reflections on her face and in the glasses. The glasses are a nice accent to it all. The resemblance is great. Good job brainfree!!
Thank you, I try for originality, technique and likeness in my art. To a certain extent it's like being a chef I don't know how the reflections will be until after the cooking (figure of speech).
Thank you, Yes there is a lot of work involved but anyone can with patience learn how to do it. All the rubbish about being born with talent is rubish my father and more could't draw anything I could hold a pencil and scribbled for 10 years befor they started to look like people. Keep Trying it's worth all the hard work in the end. FUN, FUN,
Thank you, all skills brought to gether. Different every time. Glasses. First I painted the eye behind the glasses was with Acrylic black then after drying the shine perhaps on the pupil again with acrylic then waited for it to dry. Next, I did watercolour colour tint on the lens leaving out any shine, all done as a wet lazy wash. I check to see what shine is showing on the glasses themselves. The reflection or shadow is always slightly darker behind the glasses. Lastly I blended in on all the joining areas. Skin I'll leave for another day.
Thank you, first you have to dip your feet in the water. Have a go once youve started you will get a lot of help from others. First pick a subject you know and like then get a good photo of then, not perhaps the open faced one but one that has light and shade. Then will it be drawing or paint I would avise drawing. Equipment a good sketch pad but any scrap paper will do. Pencils again any will do but the higher the B rating the softer they are so buy a B2 and a B6, A putty rubber these don't mark the paper a sharpener. First practice drawing oval large faces , place eyes, nose, ears and mouth on it. A start it takes courage to put your first work on no matter how good or bad you are. Please by leaving acomment on any drawing tell me when you've put on a drawing. Good Luck.
Thank you, I think you draw excellently to be honest I would have thought you would have moved to paint by now as you have good tonal skills. Thank you for the real master but like you I am a talented amateur.
Thank you for kind words, but i am not as great as you think, just an ordinary amateur drawing very ordinary sketches, and yes, i have moevd to painting, but i first began painting than i moved to drawing!!! this is all because of my state of having no education!!! Enjoying your gallery
