Could you please comment on my water-paint ?
 

Hey !

could you please help me with suggestions ?? should I put more shadows ??

anything to make it better ?

Thanks !!! :)

Hi Blue,

well I think you are very talented!!!! the most I can manage is a stick figure, if I try hard enough. I'm not such a good critic, but yes maybe more shadowing would help, just don't ask me where!!!
I think its brilliant anyway

no wrong or right
 

hi looks just fine to me, it has a mood of its own

there is no wrong or right way I feel with art

the ideal is always allusive, for me

thanks for sharing

Thanks ! :winky:

Hi BlueMajo ~ I'm a painter, drawer myself and you are TALENTED! I really like the expression on the face. I don't know if I'd add TOO much more shadowiing, but maybe a little. I think I WOULD work on the hair, tho and try to make it look a little more real. But this is really GOOD!

Thanks for showing it to us! God bless. Peace, Lee :)

I'm not an artist, but I don't think it needs anything more at all. Nice work!

Oh, BlueMajo!
 

:heartthrob:This is stunning! Dramatic, hypnotic. The best I've seen of your work, IMO. Wow.
What dimensions? What surface?

:rolleyes:
C.G.. . . a work still in progress

fantastic painting
 

Beautiful art. I think it's really well done, the only constructive criticism i can give is to have more contrast between the face and background, but you are clearly a better artist that me. Best of health.

It seems just right to me, at least as much as I can tell from the thumbprint. Shading/shadows define it, so you know whether they capture what you want to express. How large is the work?

it's awesome ... are you building a portfolio?? you could display at banks, pharmacies (no kidding - some guy has 5-6 photos at mine!) ... depending on how long it takes you - you can set up at art shows and sketch someone there!! and/or paint ...

you've opened a wonderful world ... keep painting!!! you do marvelous work and detail ... congrats!

Very nice!!!

Hi Blue, I think it's a lovely piece of work!
I cant draw for toffee myself, but as far as the shading goes I think it's perfect!
I perticularly like the part just below the nose to just under the mouth. Those lips are perfect.
Respect

Wow :)
 

I think it's hauntingly beautiful. Someone made a comment about the realism of the hair, and I guess that's true. More shading would create more of a dark quality, but it depends on what you're trying to achieve there. Good luck to you, you're a talented artist, so take ALL of our words as people on the outside, looking in :) Heather

Very nice.

Great as is, very Van Gogh like, keep it simple and explore all artists you like. I film, photograph and write however my muse is Cezanne for how explored light and also the same subject over and over. Here is a friend of mine in LA, inspirational . . .*edit* and by the way, Mexico has some great artists well worth exploring, I especially like Leonora Carrington. Good luck and please, keep posting, Richard.

It's great as it is.

I really like it just as it is. Well done. Talented.

dear blue, I did not know that you are an artist! HOw cool is that!

Beautiful, is all I can say.

I can't figure out how to get pictures to come on. I will know how and then not.

Ugh.:grouphug:

OMG OMG OMG !!!!!

How on earth could I miss this thread I started almost 2 years ago !? Silly me !!!

All your words are the MOST BEAUTIFUL thing I have heard in AGES !!! Aw... I have my eyes full of tears...

It is like my art has never been appreciated until now and... aw.... :o Im so touched !!!!

Thank you so so much for all your words !!! I just made some more that I want to share with you.... (will post soon)

And dear BCG, I dont know its precise size, but it is more or less like a 15" lap top.... :)

:grouphug: and love to all !

I wish I could do that ! I think it fine just the way it is.

That is awesome :D I wish I could draw. I would have probably preferred a bit more drama in the face shading/darker shadows, but then I can't draw so what do I know? LOL

I will check wet canvas !! thanks a lot !!
