However, if you don't mention to people where you think their work is going wrong and tell them that it's all beautiful, I don't think it is helpful at all, and puts the artist under a false impression that they are doing great._Frankb10https://www.blogger.com/profile/18151551321981740679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991932921959835129.post-58533974284092800092010-07-13T16:58:00.114-07:002010-07-13T16:58:00.114-07:00After I finished my Arxigene sketch I was looking ...After I finished my Arxigene sketch I was looking around at some of the other work. I came to this one and said to myself, 'that's the way I should have done it!' Thank you for writing about your process; I enjoyed it. And thank you for your constructive criticism. I do appreciate getting it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00231453420718519162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991932921959835129.post-79200453944023010102010-07-01T05:17:23.595-07:002010-07-01T05:17:23.595-07:00Thanks for the complement Cecca, I'm humbled t...Thanks for the complement Cecca, I'm humbled to think that I could be 'inspiring'! Good luck with this technique if you try it, I am currently experimenting with wet in wet, so maybe another blog in the making._Frankb10https://www.blogger.com/profile/18151551321981740679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991932921959835129.post-56765286472344072012010-06-30T15:32:21.409-07:002010-06-30T15:32:21.409-07:00This portrait is fantastic!

When I was at school, there was a huge oil panting of our benefactor, William Hanbury, in the large hall. I don't know how he did it, but the artist had painted the most piercing eyes that always seemed to stare at you no matter where you stood in the hall!_Frankb10https://www.blogger.com/profile/18151551321981740679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991932921959835129.post-40818223856515048112010-06-21T13:03:14.720-07:002010-06-21T13:03:14.720-07:00This is Terrific Frank! really love the eyes, they...This is Terrific Frank! really love the eyes, they keep drawing my eyes to them.

While it looks good, I don't think I could go that far - there's enough with just the suggestion of hair with the pen and form with the paint I think._Frankb10https://www.blogger.com/profile/18151551321981740679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991932921959835129.post-60922562296915690472010-06-21T06:19:36.897-07:002010-06-21T06:19:36.897-07:00Wow frank!

I'm working fairly small on them at the moment, with a page size of 10"x7" which I guess means I can finish them properly before my interest wanders!_Frankb10https://www.blogger.com/profile/18151551321981740679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991932921959835129.post-14063297717455614472010-06-21T04:15:34.093-07:002010-06-21T04:15:34.093-07:00Oh Frank ! ... this portrait is so good !
