That black girl in the schoolhouse. What a great painting. She looks to be sitting there with her solitary dreams of the future, maybe a little naive about just what the world outside will toss at her -- that innocent time when dreams are unfettered. A sanctuary. On the tarmac of sorts maybe? Very poignant.

You did a good job on it. A right quick study ye are, lad.

Go man go!!!!!!!!!

Hi Dr Lucy FINN ok CIAO IVAYA CON DIOS SLAINTE ..........................POZDRAWSKI

Oh I say! Simply ripping! She looks a right Katherine Hepburn type. Rather sly, independent with a huge personality.

All great stuff. You really nailed her personality, or gave her one. In any case, you're turning out to really show your aptitude as an artist is in character in your portraits. And even when you're not painting a formal portrait, like this one, you still feature the personas which brings it all to life.


On another note, you went and did a number on those bricks, I dare say. Just an idea, in future, when you're laying in such a broad area of lesser interest such as a huge brick wall, where it's going to be overlayed with some component (in this case the mortar lines), it may surprise you to know that you can go a whole lot more textural, or cast a shadow across it or gradate the tone in a far more contrasting way than you might think. The lines actually reduce the amount of contrast far more than you might think ahead of time unless you've done it before.

So in order to keep it interesting, you push it early on when you set the tone. Then when you put in the lines later, it reigns it all in and keeps it interesting (ie. it knocks back the contrast so to make it look other than flat you have to really push it the extra bit).

After all, here we have a flat brick wall which can be either interesting or plain. If you get back to doing layers, you could have a whole lot more control over this and see that you can actually make it dynamic and adjust it to suit the context as a backdrop to the figure.

Go Man Go!!!!!!!!

PoseDrawSki! y ¡Vaya con that inner light showing through in paint!
