No, I have never been on that side of the Rhone river. The only time I have been in France was to have an exhibition in Mus

Welcome Karine, now that you are here take your time, have fun but best of all participate. Your portrait is quite dramatical. Was this a preference or was it the moment?

We all would like to see more of your work and have you participate. We all learn from each other. Sometimes we give advice or comments and at other times we seek advice and or comments. So, stay a while and bring your materials.

Sincere welcome,
mischa

Hello Mischa,

Sorry to reply so late, I was quite busy these days. Thank you for your kind words. Concerning the fact that you find my portrait dramatical, well it came naturally as the model's mood was what it was. Actually, I am not sure that I understand the term dramatical here, but what I can say, is that before starting to paint, I observe the model for quite a long time, kind of absorbing what the face has to tell me about that person, and then I paint it with all it has brought to me. It is always a profound experience, to me, to paint someone's face.

Allan, thanks for posting that picture. It is an interesting painting, indeed. I will to try to look for more on the Internet. I have not been in Haute-Provence yet but based on the pictures I saw, I am sure it is a beautiful area. You should definitely see the Tarn. It is an inspiring place too. Landscapes are colorful and bright throughout the year.

And what a job

Luca, Ah... Napoli. I think I went once when I was a child. Who knows, maybe I'll have the opportunity to go back someday, I'll let you know!

Well, I am working on new portraits right now. I am sending the newest one. Please note that It is not finished yet, I am working on the background, but I thought this would give you another example of my recent works.

Post moved to Pastel Critiques

Hi everyone,

I have posted the portrait above with some close-ups in the Pastel Critiques section as I thought it would be more appropriate.

Please feel free to give me your thoughts about it. I would greatly appreciate.

Sincerely, Karine.
