Again, I am enchanted by your subject matter. I've been thinking this through, why I am so taken with some oriental/Asian boys/men. In particular, there are two figure skaters that are not only talented but (and I'm sure they would not care for this) adorable to my eye. I've decided it is because their features are so fine and delicate, it's the best way I can express it, sometimes with interesting angles, and they are just beautiful because of it. Like fine china...The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221007307735821550.post-73239300178864104702019-08-18T23:17:46.855+01:002019-08-18T23:17:46.855+01:00Thanks Sheila!

I suppose it's easier with a photo but still I'm trying to look at colours in a new way when I'm painting.

I'm constantly looking at videos of other artists' process and how they do it without all those layers. Still finding my way!<br />Yes, the class is fantastic - so lucky to find an artist of such quality here!Felicity Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11145205761346733464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221007307735821550.post-59471542056073103252019-05-22T22:41:40.863+01:002019-05-22T22:41:40.863+01:00Welcome back to blog land!

As always, I find your explanations of process fascinating, particularly because of this thing with oils of starting by laying down colors that to my mind have nothing to do with the subject matter and final look. But it obviously works! And this class has obviously been good for you. :-)The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221007307735821550.post-20034064012957690692019-01-16T10:22:47.792+01:002019-01-16T10:22:47.792+01:00Truly superb art!!!Truly superb art!!!Clipping Pathhttps://www.clippingpathquick.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221007307735821550.post-16022590895924040772017-05-15T06:46:01.534+01:002017-05-15T06:46:01.534+01:00Beautiful subject beautifully rendered.

Other forms that tried to take their place cant hold a candle to them. There is a depth and permanence and ease in following and browsing through them that is missing with Facebook, Instagram and the other quick & slapdash ones. I have always enjoyed your drawings and find they remind me I want to get better at my own efforts. Always happy when I see there's a new post here.
