Thank you, Just a simple study in light, the likeness almost went. So it was a good lesson for me. :grin: :8)

I like all that you make!

Thank you, I'm glad although I do try to teach, perhaps a little to much. I like you drawing of Kisaki it is very good, it would make a nice simple watercolour painting, hint, hint! I like your general work on your gallery as you try to be different , don't worry as you progress the skills and techniques will expand to follow your excellent originallity. Brian. :grin: :8)

Merci, j'ai travaillé à la peinture dans un modèle lumineux pour prouver aux gens que le watercolour est intéressant et frais. Mon travail est important pour moi mais j'essaye toujours de prouver par exemple que la peinture n'est pas difficile mais simplement compliquée pour apprendre, en tant qu'elle est une manière autodidacte de faire des choses. N'importe qui peut être enseigné pour tracer des lignes de couleur mais un peu de talent ou de magie doit y avoir il. Je trouve un nombre de personnes incroyable de France qui l'aspiration et la peinture bien, il est différente en Grande-Bretagne où le côté d'argent de l'art règne davantage que le travail. Nous avons produit un grand nombre de bons artistes au R-U mais non autant de comme la France et les autres pays environnants. Brian :grin: :8)

Thank you, first to spot my reason for painting it. Lighting in different levels as it comes around it makes the shadow side glow I have tried to produce the look for a long time of glowing shadow. Remember it's just pink on the left! so how? Hmm. it's the relationship between one to another. Brian :grin: :8)

Thank you, it's different My next few are teaching ones. I'm still working on the Ted the Young one But I will paint all the brothers separately but I'm going between the colour a black and white theme at the moment, I’ve draw all three but hmm just thinking all the time. The Clint E one is half done and waiting his turn for the last bit of magic. :grin: :8) Brian

Thank you, Unbelievably I to have other work so I show them on other site 'Artwanted' and 'deviant art' they are less about celebrity. I have a good way of doing a self portrait paint yourself or a friend painting a portrait of a star. now I'm not saying this but it could be a simple star say Mickey Mouse but the friend or yourself could be a more complicated affair.

Thank you, I'm very proud if my work pleases you. The portrait is about learning about painting light it is an excersize for me and others if the want the relatinship between colours and how being in shadow does not have to be dark or black. Brian. :grin: :8)

 brainfree - 03/09/09, 09:26 reply
Thank you, my shadow colur base is always light blue it always looks good and is easy to paint over if required so it always goes to flesh tone so to blush pink seems not to fit but as a shadow colour it seems to work. Each of the colours that come from the left side has a dark then a light side ranging for example from darer yellow ochre to light yellow the the pupil and Iris navy blue to lightish blue then paynes grey (a mid tone grey) to black. Brian. :grin: :thumbup:

Pupil ???? Well certaintely it is Papa Pupil !!!!!!!!! :cute: :cute: :cute: :cute:

 brainfree - 04/09/09, 09:51 reply
What I tried to say is it's not master and pupil because I'm still a pupil because no matter how good we are! we never stop learning. I when trying to help someone or painting a person for someone nearly alway rty a bit harder or go that extra little (mile) or bit. I have many things and people I admire the drawing skills on this site are great My work is OK but some here are wonderful . I see my task as being an example one to show others that it's all eay and two that it's all lernt God gives the small gift of talent but man makes it great by practice and hard work. Brian. I can be such a plonker some times Sorry to bore you. :grin: :8)

 brainfree - 04/09/09, 09:18 reply
Thank you, light and the use of light colours for shadow, it is a lesson, try it your self, it is not easy it takes a lot of planning you have to think about the likeness and the light as it just leaves at any moment I think I was very lucky here as it just looks like her! althought the pre finish painting looked like her more. Brian. :grin: :8)

 brainfree - 24/10/09, 09:26 reply
Thank you, very difficult young lady to paint Yes she has a great beauty but the keeping of her likeness and painting was incredible hard. Mind that’s what I’m about the difficult the seeming impossible many people paint or draw from photo and I do to but to get character and likeness I like painting from real life and the nearest thing is film My aim one day would be to paint these people from a sitting or life painting as there is something about painting people who breath, talk and move a little. Brian :grin: :8)
