Your painting is beautiful because it gives all its importance to the soul of the picture, the emotion, the inner life and that's it a successful portrait!<br />Good weekend to you dear artist!Pétales de féehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03894163687318165417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206997581324657237.post-89832185697334159572012-06-07T14:09:08.857-07:002012-06-07T14:09:08.857-07:00I love what you have done with this painting even ...I love what you have done with this painting even if it is a copy.

I wish I knew of him earlier but it is not too late to study and pick up some pointers. <br />I agree you have to work and work at something you feel and see inside your own self to be able to have it appear naturally in your own work. It is only just happening to me and I have been at it years.juliefordoliver.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186754679744000743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206997581324657237.post-26698708206760822002012-06-06T19:38:46.285-07:002012-06-06T19:38:46.285-07:00Une copie certes! mais avec votre propre écriture....Une copie certes! mais avec votre propre écriture.

Both were truly excellent. The composition of the Kanevsky works was remarkable - different and captivating. I think the other site will be a wonderful reference on many topics. When we shift approaches as we all do occasionally in order to grow, I wonder if it IS possible to succeed to the level at which we wish to be without having some model, reference, or inspiration from someone else who has traveled that road. You obviously were pleased with the process you used to create your stunning artwork. Now, as you apply these methods and observations to future work of your own (and it DOES take time, repetition and practice) perhaps you'll see the changes you wish to see. I just read today about a new oil paper made by Arches that needs no gesso or much prep. Perhaps we'd all feel freer to let loose if we felt the materials weren't as precious as canvas and panels are. Does that make any sense?Carol Flatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13280091225563623507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206997581324657237.post-37718060899691544942012-06-06T14:26:58.940-07:002012-06-06T14:26:58.940-07:00Beautiful painting and I am impressed that you wer...Beautiful painting and I am impressed that you were able to capture the correct colors. I think that one of the best ways to learn is to copy and you certainly did a wonderful job. I love his paintings .... the loose brushstrokes, subject matter, and the emotion he evokes in his work.
