I am always awestruck by your work, beautiful!
Oh, you are so sweet. Thank you:)
It’s really fun to see how your work progress. It may be quick and loose, but the water colour still have so much distinctive character and artistic flare. It’s simply a beautiful portrait.
Much appreciated Otto.
Really lovely. I’m very taken with her expression. Such beautiful eyes and hair.
Thanks much.
The eye shade is very beautiful here-I really love her expression.
Thank you!
I am running out of superlatives for your work.. Just look at those languid eyes… and the use of space to create light.. wonderful.. I am going to share this on my facebook page.
Thanks Helen!
Her eyes are beautiful.
Thank you:)
wish I could do that, “quick and loose!”
I guess that’s a lot trickier for a writer.
Wonderful! Bit of a dreamy, peaceful look to her.
Thank you Cindy!
I really like your practice of recording the stages in a painting. It allows you to reflect on the process – identifying successes and failures – and is a very useful teaching tool to help others who are less skilled and less experienced.
Thank you Louis.
So very regal and elegant. Stunning.
Much appreciated Karen!
Keep doing these, Elena! They’re magnificent! Loose is best!
Thank you! Means a lot coming from your talented self:)
I loved it dear Elena, Thanks and Love, nia
Thank you Nia:)
