| I like the effect I got using an extremely dry brush, dragged and scrumbled, to get the pink striations in the sweet peas. |
 |
| The leaves looked dead using only aureolin and cobalt blue, so I gave them a thin glaze of phthalo green. And it also looks much better cropped. So, I'm done here. Here you are, Renate! |

| Believe it or not, I keep adding more reds and pinks to Rhonda. I also glazed over the entire eye with a thin cobalt blue. And the teeth are done. Something still needs something though ... As always, your comments are most welcome! |
If there's something more to be done to Rhonda, I don't know what it is. This looks great Sweet Pea, as does your sweet peas. The drybrush was perfect, also the cropping.
ReplyDeleteHello Kathryn:) How happy I am to see you went on with it! He is lovely. The pink lines are so beautiful. I hope you like it yourself! Thanks a lot:)
ReplyDeleteFirst of all - the Sweet Peas are just beeeeeautiful! Fresh and not at all over worked! They are really pretty!
ReplyDeleteAnd that portrait - wow!! Amazing! :0)
I loved seeing the flower slowly develop...like watching an old Polaroid film (from another era.).
ReplyDeleteThe portrait is coming along fine! I like the background you've chosen.
The portrait is fresh and very much alive - beautiful work, Kathryn. And I love sweet-peas - and yours are lovely!
ReplyDeleteExcellent portrait, Kathryn! The dry brush on the flowers was the perfect effect...
ReplyDeleteI love the contrast between the mingly wet background and the delicate detail of the flower petals. And your portrait looks great Kathryn!! Teeth are so hard to get right and yours look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI love how you use each 'photo' to show how your pictures develop ... so interesting to a non-painter like me. Clever cropping of the sweet-peas, Kathryn. Love the way the partrait's looking.
