Hi Jan

What a lovely set of portraits ,what I like most in all three is that there is a person looking out at the viewer  comunicating  ,this is the most important thing and many portraits lack this “reality ” your really there in these portraits ,I have very little critique  am afraid,and  I like them all equally they capture different subtle moods and moments  these portraits are enigmatic and convey a great sense of the sitter

The drawing technique is understated ,supports the subject and has grace and lightness

This is the the first of your work I’ve seen that’s not a strict part of learning

I know we are all self critical and even the finest masters can allways improve

But genuinely in many ways these portraits are perfect

Kind regards

Tim

Hi Bogdan

Well we can all learn to draw !!

But the fact you want to communicate is fantastic, I get what you are saying, there is somthing wonderful about externzlising our insides through  line shadow …….

Its magic really ,so glad you are on  such a worthwhile real quest

Me too

Hi Betty

I am still working through the free course as you say it’s very good if you want a still life with hammer and mug look no further  .

I just got the staedtler lumonograph pencils they are very nice

I haven’t signed up yet ,but will to specialise .

I only started art early july so have no art buddies so this site hase been a blessing wife is supportive , but the theory and ins and outs can be a bore if your not learning

Have met people whilst doing plien air surprising how many want to learn to get involved so pointed them to free course

I will look if the figure drawing is open to me I  have enjoyed landscapes (I am by the sea )and still lifes)which I find  are like little worlds

Kind regards

That’s funny you replied

Most on here are in USA so time lag

I am doing introduction to drawing really useful turns out the basics need studying for life !

Really grounds you in tonal values (only using monotone ) and fundamentals of art I just need to do it I prefer to pop out and draw  still the little I do study is really helpful

Be good to see what your painting sometime

Best wishes

Hi Ann lovely painting nice use of colour and atmosperic perspective

Maybe you could tweak the tonal values

Mostly shadows

Re the medium I think you have done well

Very nice painting relaxing and pleasing to the eye
