''Danielle'' Further Progress


I've decided to stop painting today because I've been painting since roughly 8:00am this morning. Well the photograph above shows my latest progress for my painting entitled ''Danielle'' The colours are slightly off but the are reasonably close to the painting. My intention is to work some more on the darkest areas of her hair next time I do some work on it - hopefully tomorrow, I will do further work on the background.

Inspiration and ideas

Today I did some work on my painting entitled ''Danielle'' for the first time in a while. I was going to begin the change of subject matter after I had completed ''Danielle'' but due to further inspiration I will incorporate my new ideas on this painting - it's the perfect painting to begin with!

When I do a little more work on the painting I will post a photo to show my progress, hopefully this will be during the late evening of Sunday 5th because I will be out all day tomorrow!

Traditional Portraits on my website

I haven't really made much progress with my painting since the last post. I've been on an art forum where things have been getting a bit firey. After 6 pages of discussion nobody has had anything else to say about the topic after my final post.

Yesterday evening I had become inspired for my art to take an additional direction which was out of the blue, I haven't done anything about creating this new art but I have fresh ideas which I am excited about! Despite saying that I have communicated with a friend who can help me out with my new ideas and he has told me that he will leave a bullitin which will include my email address to enable anybody to respond - hopefully somebody will! I realise that I am being a bit mysterious here but I will soon reveal what is going on!

Latest update

Hey

I haven't posted on here for a few days. I've been painting almost every day since my last post working soley on ''Danielle'' and have been on the artforums. Today I have also begun working further on making the body look more realistic.

I will take another photograph tomorrow and put it on here in the evening. I'm going to go off now to do some more painting now!

''Danielle'' work in progress.


This is my painting entitled ''Danielle''! Its size is 80cm x 100cm (the same as ''Louise'').
I'm really happy with how it is looking so far. I've been working on it for many months now whilst I was still working on the previous painting ''Louise''.
I still have a lot of work to do and blending to make the skin/body look as realistic and smooth as possible, but it is starting to take form!

Today I worked on the face, neck and ear. My intention is to complete all of the skin/flesh before moving onto the next stage that will be the background.

''Danielle'' oil painting

Yesterday and today I have been working on my large oil painting entitled ''Danielle'' its looking real good and taking form. Yesterday I was putting most of my effort into making the arm look good and today I was working on the skin tone across the entire body and her face. Tomorrow I will continue to work on this painting and I will also take a photograph of the work so that you can see how the painting is looking so far.

''Lexi'' oil painting


Well here is my oil painting entitled ''Lexi''. I was aiming to complete it today but I haven't done any painting. The painting is very nearly completed, I just need to make little improvements here and there. It won't be on my website until it is totally complete. I hope to complete it very soon.

Comments and feedback are very welcome!
