Here is the footage of one of the demos from my workshop, about 5.5 hours worth of work edited down to 10 minutes. One suggestion: best viewed in at least 720p. :-) Enjoy!
I recently came across you from Sandy-Askey-Adams Fine Art Group on Facebook. I've been going through your blog from current to past and I'm just floored!
I had to comment on this painting as it really moved me! I don't do figure works (I do landscapes mainly), but I've always wanted to dig deep and explore the figure.
This painting here was so exceptional. The composition, the texture, the form...wow!
I love your most recent painting where you seem bored. The denim jeans, the easel, the expression on your face. That is wonderful! I also loved the woman in the red dress reclining that you won an award for.
You are so beautiful, so talented, so blessed by God. I probably don't need to point all that out. But every now and then I come across someone who's story just inspires me to be a better artist.
I've a long way to go in comparison, but I will continue to practice and study and see where I can go. Perhaps I may even be brave enough to try some figurative works as well, maybe some portraiture. Don't know why I find it so daunting. (Unlike you, I won't be doing studies of myself. I'm a rather husky, rotund faced person. If I was as pretty as you, I'd sure be more open to that!)
:)
Anyways, just wanted to encourage you to keep exploring and painting. You are one of those gifts God places on the planet to enrich our lives through expressive paintings, and I hope you keep yourself in front of the studio easel!
Wow! I don't know which I enjoyed more, the painting demo or the original piano solo! Thanks for sharing both.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dee Dee! :-)
