July has been an awesome month of painting! From online classes to live workshops, I’ve really enjoyed learning new things and getting more confidence with portraits.
Portrait of Rafaella – 8 x 10 inch acrylic on Raymar art panel
It’s all about changing the angles lately…and I have to say this angle might be the most challenging of them yet! But I do love how she turned out, with her adorable green eyed gaze, as well as the loose and colorful brush strokes.
I am learning so much this year, and loving every minute of it! I see the product of my practice, thousands of portraits, drawn and painted over the last nine years.
People sometimes use the word “talent” when they see art they appreciate, but I think sometimes it really takes curiosity, time, and patience, to really see results in your hard work. Art is a skill like any other, and if you love it, and stick to it, it can bring you so much joy.
