I take a drawing and painting class on Saturday mornings. It's a 2.5 hour class, but we really only get about 2 hours tops of actual painting. And I never feel like I leave with a finished painting. This one comes close. I had a lot of fun. Very loose and fast.
Just wanted to share. |

I don't know why it's turned sideways; the original isn't. Let me try again.

Wow! Beautiful job :thumbup:
|
I really like that.
|
Beautiful!! :D:D:D
|
I wish I could do that! You are very talented. Thanks for sharing.
|
that is fabulous!!! i took some Bob Ross classes here in Colorado and some others in Houston. never did a portrait though. great painting!!!
|
Very talented
|
That is better than Bob Ross. I don't mean to step on any ones toes but when you said drawing and painting class I pictured a Bob Ross style - cookie-cutter- pretty landscape. What is the point of painting if you are just copying someone else's work?
But yours is original, to me that is what "art" is. PS - I love Bob Ross, someone on another board I read signs their posts, WWBRD - what would Bob Ross do? Paint a happy little tree. God Bless. |
what a talent you have. The picture is awsome thanks for sharing. I embroidrey or try to knit when I am not sewing or quilting.
|
Wow, that's very nice. I'm impressed!
|
Very nice work!! Really brings out the various textures of skin, fabric and hair......and not a bad looking model, either :oops:
|
thats fantastic...I never paint anymore...quilting has been my complete obsession for yrs now
|
Wow. You have a gift.
|
I hope you got an A+!
|
Wonderful work !
|
You ARE an artist! No one paints like that with just a lessons!
|
That's just gorgeous. I don't have an artistic bone in my body. I really admire your talent.
|
WOW that is neat! Good job.
|
You are very talented!
|
Excellent work ! It looks like you used pastels or Oil pastels? Did you work from a model? Excellent ! Lynda

Thanks for all the wonderful comments. I'm 52 (and a half!) and have been painting off and on since high school. More off than on. I studied some in college and since have done a few years here and there of non-academic courses. Mostly I do it because inside of me there is an artist demanding expression.
In fact, I first got into quilting in the mid 90s after moving to DC from California. In the move, I "lost" my painting studio and had no good place to paint in my new home. So I picked up quilting because of all the colors (which is what I really love about painting, anyway-- color play). Little did I know then that so many of you quilters have sewing rooms the size of good painting studios OR LARGER!!! Lynda, the portrait above is oil paint (and yes, from a model). I also work in chalk pastels. -- Jillaine |
Nice job
|
It's a beautiful painting! But, why is the model wearing clothes? All the classes I took many years ago featured nude models. :shock:
|
Fantastic, your art is just wonderful, keep it up!
|
Great job! :D
|
Very nice. I wish I could do something like that. I can't draw a straight line. LOL
