I'm thinking the next one might have a bit of pink/rose in warm areas, kind of like a 3-coloured chalk drawing but blue instead of black. 🤔

That's true, you've painted something that is very difficult to look at in real life and i think that might be the 'magic' you've captured. It gives the viewer an ability to see beyond our normal scope.

Thanks a lot! I hope to get more up, this blue pencil concept has given me a new lease on drawing, i'd like to try a few more and see where it goes.

Thank you @mayasky - i love how he painted her, how he managed to get the dress so creamy and silky with a few fat brush strokes. Those colours a 100 years later still look fresh.

If i remember correctly from previous posts, you studied at the Florence Academy of Art right? Did you go to Florence or New York? I'm trying to get to FAA or Angel Acadmey at some stage but it's not easy

Brilliant, thanks for sharing the process. Re-steemed on my end. I recently had a friend ask for a portrait of him and his wife and he gave me the photo - she was smiling full two rows of teeth, 3/4 profile!

You really excelled with the light through the trees, it’s the life of the painting and you captured it beautifully.

I’m liking the blue! Funny thing, the nearest big office supply box store for some reason sells every individual colour of Conté à Paris. These are a high end artist pencil that can be hard to get at the

Good bot but i already posted that link in the article.

Very nice work @adelepazani, it has a Rubens feel to it, a masterful drawing. Well done. Re-steemed.

You want to write letters? i’d like to get soemthing other than bills and junk flyers in the mailbox for a change! I’ll send you some of my favourite papers.

I really admire your penmanship, i wish i had such a steady hand. Heres a beautifully sad lullabye for a beautiful drawing:

That would make a great oil painting - actually, looks like it could have been left there by Monet. Can almost see the 'Artists' technique in those leaves. When we take the time to notice the little things,

Since posting this originally.... R.I.P Tom Petty. Another one gone. I hope Bob Dylan lives forever... But i suppose, All Things Must Pass, as George Harrison once sung.

Thanks a lot, I like getting lost in the sfumato effect and charcoal is fast becoming my favourite medium - thou i hope to parlay the technique i'm working on into oils eventually and bring colour into

Beautiful colours, you really have a special eye for colour. To me, it says a lot about how you must see the world to be able to see the unity & balance in colours like this. It's great you are able

I’m glad you’re still here, i’m not sure i would have come back if you had left. I haven’t forgotten i owe you a watercolour (one day, still practising, you set the bar very high!)!

Thanks a lot for taking time to check it out. Happy New Year to you too.

Hey, Thanks for checking it out!
