Hi Dominique very arresting work I really like it  lots of expression in the eyes hands  ,its quite story telling somehow like a new wave film poster

I like the brave free use of the mediums  .

Hi Lewis really good skin tones and oil technique the sitter ireally looking out .  Maybe there could be some warm tones in the background and via versa to give more harmony also into clothes re the lace its possibly just to well drawn to exact  all in all a fine portrait showing great oil skills .

Hi Jan I really like this one the whole thing is really richly textured the head is very convincing and really has weight  your zest for rendering is subdued and has worked really well on this piece ,but I agree when everything is rendered to a 10 the eye does not no where to look there is no contrast  looking forward to seeing more your doing a lot of courses well done .

Hi Leon

Good work the man has really good perspective I like the freedom of your line work and the economy of strokes .

Lovely colours Francisco

I also like the mark making and energy

As I feel subjectively I am looking at a figurative work  my eye is having trouble with the  distorted proportion

So a beautiful painting that I have trouble reading

Nice use of line Zach  look forward to seeing more of your work

Hi stacey  these are lovely I like the materials in the first one (red) what did you use ? I like that you said a lot with economy of line . Drawing 2   is different and has a very languid line  both drawings have good composition and work

The Mark’s inside elbows drawing 1 look a little bold in this digital image  also it’s not easy to read the left arm in drawing 2 overall very lovely work

Thanks Jaylene the materials have such lovely names ,I saw a guy put on a midtone in vine  erase it put in the darks  with compressed and then sensitively used a 558 general white charcoal I ve tried a few papers but couldn’t get my white which is Derwent to go on like  his I will try your suggestion .

I’ve just started  this July  and after buying a few Paints have decided to now focus  on drawing / tonal values for a while ,thanks for your kind reply .
