Alexandra:

I loved the drapery you do on your portraits. Very, very nice.
Edna Andrade is my favorite one. I loved her pose and the natural light.
Is she Brazilian? This surname is typically Brazilian.

Great work!

Thanks for the compliment, Alex. It's pencil with a charcoal background.

Your portraits are also incredible. My favorite is Egon. Beautiful light.

See you around in the forum.

Wonderful self portrait Alex. The style reminds me of a pen and ink drawing. Will very much enjoy seeing more of your work here - thanks for joining.

Thanks a lot Heidi!
I really appreciate your comments about my work.

Trust me, you dont want to see what i can do with pen and ink. My place is between the pencils and oils...

Your sculptures are really impressive... I never tryed sculping before. But im sure i will give it a try at the next semester at my university.

By the way, somebdoy coul please tell me what is the difference between "new member", "juried member" and "approved member"? I tryed to find someplace on the forum the explanation for that but was not able to find...

Thanx again everybody!

Alex

Hello Alex

Welcome to the forum. Your drawing is very nice. It struck me immediately as having a strong sense of life and form in space. Well done!

Re. your question about membership: All new members are juried members, which means they have had their work reviewed and its quality approved of and, like you, have been invited to join the forum. Apparantly, though, artists are listed at the bottom of the main forum page as "new member" whilst they are in the jurying process, before they have been approved, but they are, in fact not yet true members.

Welcome, Alex!

I love your use of lines in your self-portrait, and look forward to seeing more. It is rare to see one who understands how to do this so well.

Garth
