New portrait

How true what you said about your daschund [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] We have three and the household pretty much revolves around what they want. But I wouldn't give them up for the world!

Thanks for your kind comment about the painting of my sister. I would like to have the talent to be able to paint like that without having to have a picture to look at!!! But if I did that, it definetly wouldn't look like a human!

Most of the great artists in history had to have something to look at, we just happen to have old photos. The model only helps with the accuracy of shape, getting the colors, shading, surface rendering right is the tricky part. You seem to have mastered that!
