I don't do them often enough.<br /><br />I think you're right Rhonda. Its a bit like thinking then having to write out your thoughts.<br /><br />My watercolour portraits just 'happened' in this kind of technique, but they do add a different dimension to skin tone I think.<br /><br />Thank you Sue.<br /><br />Rose, good to hear from you again. How are you? I'm always the willing model it seems. I need more 'victims' :)Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-13779053008597671922009-11-28T23:09:23.795-03:302009-11-28T23:09:23.795-03:30I love the expression on your face in your self-po...I love the expression on your face in your self-portrait!

We can see what needs to be done (the shapes, the darks, the lights) far earlier than our hands can copy that information onto paper or canvas. I think your work is gorgeous, and your watercolor portraits are ones I'd like to emulate but haven't been able to get right yet. I'm still trying, though. Your modeling of the facial planes and features with dabs of paint fascinates me and creates such a vivid, alive portrait.RH Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497161758269292809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-79387211190773158452009-11-28T06:21:18.403-03:302009-11-28T06:21:18.403-03:30I love your drawings!

I've been trying to follow the advice of artist Robert Burridge and do some loose little sketchy acrylic paintings as 'warm-ups" to get my brain in that free-wheeling zone. These are only for myself, never again to see the light of day unless I choose to let them.<br /><br />The 'playtime' is kinda fun!
