Portrait 4



Het is zo moeilijk om op tijd te stoppen. De verleiding om nog een lijntje te schilderen is enorm! Dus ik heb mezelf streng toegesproken en geroepen: stop, stop nu! :) Ik hoop dat het gelukt is.
Dit is een Palestijns meisje, van een foto die al jaren wachtte om geschilderd te worden.

It is so hard to stop in time. The temptation to paint another line is huge! So I have been very strict to myself and shouted: stop, stop now! :) I hope I succeeded.
This is a Palestinian girl, from a photo that had been waiting for years to be painted.

  1. You are right to stop. This portrait is very effective, less is more for sure.

  2. Your portrait is so clever, as w/c is the hardest medium, I think, for portraits. I am fascinated by your brushstrokes and skin tone.

  7. The portrait is so nervous, I mean emotions and sight in the eyes of the girl, great work.
    I never can stop in time. In watercolor, too.

  17. When I was studying creative writing, the major work of the teacher was directed to restrict the use of words.
    Also in the painting is so. The teachers say do not use two brush strokes where one will do .... easy to say, hard to do. But you were really good at keeping the commitment and the result is perfect!

  21. Hey Judy, ik lees altijd eerst de voorgaande commentaren en was erg getroffen door Rita (so true!!!) De ogen zijn in vergelijking met de rest van je prachtige portret wat hard uitgevallen, is ook het moeilijkste onderdeel van het portret vind ik zelf. Blijf ze alsjeblieft maken, ik geniet er erg van, groetjes
