I have recently attempted to re-vamp my artistic side. Not drawing or painting anything but little drawings for fun, maybe. Snagging photos posted by relatives on their social networking sites for my inspiration I began to draw...it's a beginning. I am pleased with my accomplishments and I did better than I thought I ever could. This is a series of pastel portraits I plan to do, all from photographs.
The first attempt (before 'Poolside Brotherly Love') is a portrait of my niece and sister. 14"x 14" pastel on paper (untitled), I was surprised with my results. In the past my portraits were frustrating. Although this attempt is by no means at the level I wish I was at, at my age. It was satisfying to see what I could accomplish when I pushed myself.
Hello Colleen,
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you.
This is a very good beginning indeed. You must absolutely follow your taste for drawing and painting. It is such a gift to be able to create with a pen or a brush.
Thank you for following me.
I am looking for your next works....
You are very talented, you have a definite eye for portraiture. I have done a few so I recognize that element of capturing a person's soul, you have that talent. Please continue to explore.
ReplyDeleteWonderfully marvelous job Colleen, I love it! You are definitely blessed with a talent.
