YoungAtHeart, whom happens to be one of my Elders who has been active in my quit since I came to Ex, is also one of the first people I ever painted. My first attempt was around a year ago when I first started painting humans .
My subject matter has mostly been wildlife and horses. So anyway, when I painted her before I used acrylics. This time it is in Oil. Acrylics are faster to dry and not as forgiving IMO. They also dry darker then when they are first applied.
So I am using Oils now on most all of them.
I am no pro. I did once have a busy mural business but I don't do ladders or heights anymore, lol. I am really enjoying this portrait painting and I so many of you are willing to be my 'victims', as I learn this process. I have a to on my list to paint so if you are one of them, be patient...I will get to you . I also have commissioned work that often times takes priority over these, as I do not charge for the ones I do for all of you. If you want to be added to list, message me.
DonnaMarie is next followed by a redo of MarilynH who was also one of my first.
Have a great Labor Day weekend everyone, stay safe!
Nancy :
Oh, MY, I LOVE it!
Thank you so very, very much!
Can't say it enough - thank you!
You're welcome. I still see many errors in it.....I may even work on it some more yet? Who the heck knows.....I look at it and think, Oh its done, then I walk back in the room and see more things that need done. hahahahaha Its good to step away from it for awhile. You will get it eventually, lol
I am not in any hurry. Take your time and enjoy the work!!!
I like to hold my artwork up to a mirror - I usually know there is SOMETHING wrong, but somehow it is easier for me to spot what it is in a mirror image.
Enjoy your holiday weekend!
I learned today to turn the painting sideways or upside down and it helps see mistakes! Very cool.....and yep, it works....so no, am not done with it, lol
