This was my first attempt at oils and it took me about 2 weeks to finish this portrait. I loved the reference photo as it was a good source to work from
Ohh Susan, first attempt with oils!! It's incredible beautiful!
Artist Reply: Hi Anneke! Thanx a million! With all these wonderful and kind comments, I think I will have a hard time falling asleep tonight! Thanx again for you kind comments!
Really great work with colour... I have difficulty with skin in colour.
Artist Reply: Hello! Thanx so much for commenting! I did most of the skin toning with my fingers as I thought the brushes made it look harsh and rigid, I am always very dirty after a painting session!
Thanx for looking, much appreciated!
