"watching together"
...... over the summer i've been looking at sketches studies and portraits i've painted over the last few years i wanted to share this portrait i painted at the beginning of 2009 of my youngest daugther and her aunt ..they are very close.... at the time i was pleased with it as it was the first time i'd tried to paint a double portrait ..... i painted it in one hit ....i used maimeri cad red raw sienna and cerl blue ... i can see mistakes but i still like this study... i have a lot to learn and hope one day to capture the likeness of my daughters.
Brava è fatto bene... potresti proprio pensare a continuare con altri ritratti!!! Sarebbe molto bello anche vedere nei tuoi ritratti il volto che "si mostra e si nasconde" nell'acqua e nei colori come i fiori di tanti tuoi bellissimi acquerelli.
RispondiEliminaCiao Graziano
Jane, io trovo che sia un buon ritratto, soprattutto considerando che è un doppio ritratto. Bella la colorazione dei visi e bellissima la luce. Se insisti diventerai una grande ritrattista. Un abbraccio.
RispondiEliminaDear Jane,
RispondiEliminaPlease be kind to yourself. Just enjoy it. Never say, "mistakes." We all try, "experiments" that turn to be precious "experiences." So, there's no mistake. Don't be tough on you. I really look forward to next.
Kind regards, Sadami
Oh, how lovely! So soft and delicate. It's beautiful.
RispondiEliminaI think it's beautiful Jane, you've captured a lovely feeling here :)
RispondiEliminaits wonderful! The light is captured very beautifully
RispondiEliminaI also think that the light is lovely in this painting. I've never tried a portrait in watercolour, only acrylics. This is amazing for a first attempt!
RispondiEliminaTrovo che tu abbia reso le ombre su questi volti in un modo davvero delizioso... c'è un senso pittorico di unione di questi due ritratti che illustra veramente bene l'affetto tra tua figlia e la zia. Sei veramente brava!
RispondiEliminaciao graziano in time i would love to explore that . thankyou so much for your kind words of encouragement
RispondiEliminaciao tito grazie mille ..will keep insisting :)haven't tried painting that no of portraits
