From One End of Life to the Other - Portraits Coming Through
I'm polishing up my portrait skills in the hope of getting some commissions. Here are some: one of my step daughter's nine month old son, and the other of a dear older lady friend on her ninetieth birthday. Both were difficult. The child was so smooth and perfect, and every line needed to be true to my style, which is a bit rough, but not detract from that perfection. My lovely friend was deeply lined, and I needed to 'mute' enough of those lines so they didn't overpower her inner beauty. I hope I succeeded.

Yes ROBBIE all look good as is norm of your work can you do the same in trad ?? as digital painting is still at a low ebb ok but still show more ok CIAO SLAINTE

I don't know about trad Eighty, as I haven't tried, but have been on the cusp of doing so for years. I used to do them pretty successfully in charcoal years ago.
I'm feeling a bit stubborn, and trying to force people to embrace digital locally, as that's what I really love doing. It's so clean and convenient, and someone's got to blaze a trail!

wow Robyn your talent never ceases to amaze me!.. these are really exceptional, I look at all types of art and have seen some very good portraits, ones that reveal the personality of the subject but still are done with creativity
and a unique style, yours is right up there.. both of these.... very very nice work!.. hope they generate some commissions for you!.

Looks great!!! . I think your muting of the lines was very successful in the portrait of your older friend. They still read, but do not overpower the face. Wonderful achievement.
