(9x12)Painted this today from a photo Shelby took one day when we were out painting with Charles Reid. Shelby and I were still in thr throes of our Ted Nuttall workshop and, while Charles demonstrated, took a lot of pictures of our fellow students (on the sly).
I worked on this intermittently this morning in between little bursts of cleaning out the garage, very gingerly, on the lookout for crickets.
Very nicely done - fresh, clean colors blending, letting the paint do its thing without forcing it - good job!!
ReplyDeleteI thought i loved your landscapes, now i am finding your portraits so interesting. You are so on top of this a minute away from where you want to be...yes?
ReplyDeleteYour portrait work leaves no doubt as to your diversity... what can I say Laura ,, "I JUST LOVE YOUR PAINTINGS" ok there I said it...
ReplyDeleteYour portraits show Nuttall's influence--his layers of paint were so delicate and light, weren't they? Yet he built them up wonderfully. This is delightful, Laura!
ReplyDeletewow... hope i can do half as well after my workshop, with him.... seeing your wonderful results are so exciting!! really nice fresh loose portrait.. also see some chas reid effects..
ReplyDeleteHi Laura,
ReplyDeleteI love everything you've been doing. What now? Please keep doing the superb watercolours you've been doing all along. You are so amazingly good.
Great painting.

I love the way you've caught that shadow on her face. A really great portrait. And to paint with Charles Reid - you guys over there don't know how lucky you are!!
ReplyDeleteHey Laura, look at my blog roll at the watercolorings blog. I don't think you have that blog on your roll. Anyway, she did a different sort of a portrait using photoshop and fluid acrylics and watercolor. See what you think:)
ReplyDelete'est un portrait très réussi,plein de naturel et de vie, bravo!
ReplyDeleteShe looks so cool under that hat. You've captured the light very well.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, I love it! Vicki
ReplyDeleteYou have such a talent for portraits. They show your mastery at bringing the subjects alive and making them interesting. This is a particularly nice one. Love the subtle use of shadow.
