I've joined Julia Kay's Portrait Party group on flickr, where we draw and paint portraits of other members. It is quite fascinating to see everyone's interpretation of the same image. I tried to link directly to the image above on flickr, but it was taking ages, so here's the link:
Until 2010, I had done no painting since I took a watercolour course or two at our local school in the late 1990's. In 2009, I made a New year's resolution that I would settle down and do some painting, but it never materialized. So early this year when I said to my wife that I was going to pick up my paint brushes again, she just laughed! Well, I meant it this time, hence this blog. It's a revival of my inner most desire to paint, in fact, it's my art revival!

Frank, this is amazing! It's so good! I checked out the photo's and it's such a fantastic likeness. I am really impressed. And the lines work really well too. :0)
ReplyDeleteReally wonderful work Frank! I think you've done a fantastic job :)
ReplyDeleteSandra and Crystal - thankyou both for the lovely comments. This is getting really addictive now, and I can feel myself creating my own style of work. This painting follows a portarature study that I did in week 3 at art classes, (which I have yet to blog) and is a definate improvement.
ReplyDeleteYour linework is great Frank, ..... very expressive
ReplyDeleteThanks Alice, I've seen others use lines to good effect, so I'm trying to add them to my own style.
