I have some classes to finish in an art course I started a while back. The artist who is teaching specialises in figures and portraits, so I decided to use my remaining 6 classes to learn to paint figures and maybe even a portrait! My teacher said that the best way to start is to copy pictures painted by other artists. I wasn't sure that this was the best way, but decided to go along anyway. I was pleasantly surprised that this is a technique followed by many people. The paintings I am copying are done by a local Indian artist called Fernandes, sometime in the 60s. This is my first attempt, and it certainly came out better that I expected!
I love it and the expression on her face is very calming. Great job!
ReplyDeleteNice job, Brinda! I haven't done figures before, so I admire those who do.
ReplyDeleteVery nice job on a first attempt! You should be very satisfied with yourself. Margret's right. The expression on her face and the blue ground have a very tranquil effect.
ReplyDeleteIt has come out well, very well indeed. I like doing figures myself.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Margaret, Suztats, L.W.Roth and Marmsk! Lets see where this takes me!
ReplyDeleteWonderful painting Brinda. I've tried following how other artists paint and it truly helps - I try to take ideas that work for me from each artist.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ann!
