Merci, un bons acteur et c'étaient une grande pitié quand il est mort.

Excellent Brian.

Thank you, I drew most of this batch a week ago and I have what I think is some of my best work coming up, they seem to have just flowed. I had a little slow down last week but I seem to be back to five a day now. Tommorow I'm going to a art class as a pupil. so I'm getting my stuff ready. Next week I'm holding a teaching session with youngster teaching them to draw better and paint so both ends of the brush.

Your welcome. Your news are just as great as your others. What will you be learnng? That is wonderful. It's great for kids to get started in art. The sooner he better. I have started a watercolor on one of my favorite persons. If I may ask. How big are your portraits?

I have no idea my friend taking me, he’s being a bit secretive about the format, I'm like a new boy, all what shall I take? Pencils, brushes, travel watercolours or what. He wants me to take some of my work and I have no idea how to pick them, for me or for them, as my taste is all Sc/Fi but them I have no idea.

For the youngsters I have done it before, it's a bit of a format:- a Still life, I always pick a bottle and an apple. I do a game of putting them into fours and have the draw them selves then the person opposite. Finally, they paint a formatted watercolour painting. I will help them, with showing washes and then outline. All my efforts will be to make the drawings quick and the paintings colourful, but showing them background and framing. It sound a lot but its one two hour then three one hour sessions. My portraits are this year because of the size of my scanner they are A4 but my work previous and for two months will be A3 and larger this is why I'm having a rest at a 1000.

Great idea for them. And that you teach them framing, also. I bet the kids learn alot and rnjoy the sepects of watercolor. So like 8 1/2 x 11. I thought they were bigger. But I know certain scanners can only accomidare certain sizes. Sometimes for lartger portraits. i usually scan in halfs and patch together.

Mine does a little bigger to, but if I'm buying in bulk the watercolour paper I have to settle for what I get.

True.

I hope you get something out of it. And enjoy yourself. I'm sure you will choose the right ones. Of course, which is all your art really. I can see the dilema.

I will enjoy every minute because I love helping talent move along without them kowing I'm guiding. I love painting or teaching I have a Little saying FUN, Fun, fun and more Fun.

Nice saying and it should be that way with art.

Well I've arrived back I was the new boy. No other portriat artist all landscapes but nice people. I will enjoy seeing the term out with them. All they wanted from me was to buy my work but no sale. I had a lovely time and enjoyed the looking at different styles and types of painters only one acrylic artist. All watercolour artists other different standards.

It's great to connect with other artists and actually be around them and to see what they do face to face.

Yes, I had a wonderful evenning seeing other peoples style and equipment. This is one of the things I'm going to do during my little lay off.

Glad to hear that. I miss workshops. Getting invloved with other artists on that level.Good for you.

It's early days and they have a competition for each term it's painting flowers Hmmm and you get another 3months to do it, I said How many do you want by next week so much time I'm hoping it will help me with my patience . I took along about 20 of my portraits and instantly they want to known if I sold them also I turned you a few noses when I said I di two a day if they only knew how many I really did they would not talk to me. All I can say is I loved it the interaction between others I listened to every word but spoke when asked as I did not want to seen unfriendly. They also have a gallery for the other students to see work that had been done they all are very good I will need to be on my metal to gain respect and not seem big headed. It has a small cost but so small it's a box of matches in cost. They were reframing a painting for someone and gave her a bran new frame, very generously. All together I was not the oldest or the youngest. There is not teacher it more like a club. :8

ounds like a great expereince for yu and the most importtant thing, interaction withother artists. It's so rewardly and enlightening. # months , you will have qie alot of flower paintings. Have yu sold any of your art. If I had the money right now, I would love to buy your Robert you did for me. Or at least a print.

I don't sell any thing, but if you can screen capture the Robert you have my say so to do it. Perhaps I can send a larger JPG file copy to you.

Thank you. That is so very kind of you.

mais il manque la sucette!

Merci, je peindrai des autres d'une journée avec une lucette pour vous. Dans son rôle en tant que bandit en esclavage de film il a joué le wthout droit de pièce le lolli et était excellent, je savent que ce que voulez dire vous il est une icône avec une lucette.

Good choise Great actor

Merci, I' ; m heureux vous l'aimez.

Very very good Brian! Now he was Blofeld in On her Majesties...right?

Thank you, I would have said it was terrible casting, until I saw the film again and he was very good, between him and Diana Rigg they held the film together.

Yes,those two did another film for Hammer maybe?I think,it might have been Theatre of Blood,no that was Vincent Price!

Thank you,

Thank you, Merci,

Thank you,

Kojak my childhood beautiful portrait

Thank you, well I was a little older, but an Iconic actor, they never died in film they live forever in our minds and on the screen.

Amazing skin nuances!!!!

Thank you, I worked for a long time at the skin mind there was a lot of it. I find the purple under colour is great with realy orange and yellow tones were as the light blue under colour works with pink and red. You have a wonderful way with English very good.

Magnífico master Brian! Unforgettable actor!

Thank you, Yes unforgetable TV actor, but mind how many of us could remeber he was in a Bond film. I had forgotten his role, but I have just watched it again and he was good man.

GREWOW GREAT BLENDING OF COLORS.... GREAT WORK BRAIN...... I JUST TOOK A TIME OUT OF MY STUDIES AND CAME ONLINE...... TOO GOOD....

very nice work!!

Thank you, Merci,

Thank you, Merci,

Wow! Your use of colour and lighting are absolutely breath-taking, you sir are amazing and your subjects are great and some very original

that was thwe wrong emote to use I meant

Thank you, That OK I know what you mean. When a face is full and has a bald head I seem to get carried away with colour trying to use reflection. The orange I use goes a little over the top sometimes it dry very lunminous or bright.

Ahh, welll it's not over the top at all it looks great, I know what you mean though, I've had to throw out or start over again on a lot of portraits that I've intended to paint because they look like they've been tango'd!
