PortraitDay12


This portrait is of a young girl and while I like the drawing it is not quite as young as the photograph depicts. I will try again. I am posting it because I like it. I have done a few of them, but, not many and feel happy with the results of this one. I have a portrait of a young boy that I will post soon...it is an older one done a number of months ago.

Linda, this is a lovely drawing. I have great appreciation for what you are doing. All afternoon I've been trying to draw the lighter featured on the DPW Challenge. Great training for the eye!

Hi Linda.
It is a wonderful portrait. And your first one, It`s hard to believe that anybody can produce a good portrait like this for the first time. You have done extremely well Linda. All the best.
Vic.

Hi all...thank you for your comments!
Victor...No, its not my first one, I have done very few so far...I have probably done under 5 or 6. I am sorry if I misled anyone. I will need to change the way I worded that. Linda

VANITY SOLD

I LOVE 'girl' things like lipstick, perfume, nail polish bottles, and pretty little compact cases. In this painting I was working for limited strokes. I would lay down the paint and leave it without manipulating it in any way. 6X6 inches oil Raymar canvas panel (Archival)

LITTLE ORANGE TEAPOT SOLD

Red Orange is another of my favorite colors. When I saw this great tea pot in one of the stores in town I wanted it right away. But, I thought and thought about it and when I went back to the store it was still there and I decided that it was mine! I am not a tea drinker but I have always loved the shapes and sizes and variety of design of teapots. In this painting I backlit the teapot with natural and studio lighting. I was experimenting with the changing values and shadow. 8X8 inches oil Raymar Canvas Panel (Archival)
