Hi Marina
I didn't think you would like it becouse you are realistic and everybody here doesn't seem to appreciate impressionism very much.
Ciao
Adriano

Adriano,

It IS my favorite form of art.

Check out my "Alicia Blue" . "Green Dakini" in Unveilings for the Professional" and "Dakini" in Nude Unveilings.

I don't mean to push my own work, but these pieces were much inspired by impressionism.They may not be what you were thinking, but they were the best I could do.

Also check out Linda Brandon's work.

Adriano,
I think I like it because -1: It's beautiful, -2: I'm not able to do the same. Even when I decide to work in a loose style, I always finish doing thin details...So I really admire what seems to be very difficult for me.

Hi Carlos
I think that charcoal and sanguine require no technique at all !
Just the use of your finger!
You can do any painting you want from the photo.
Ciao

Hi Marina
I'm not responsable for my " skill "in drawing, I dont' even know
how get people to learn it. That's different for pastel and the oil technique .I'll post soon a pastel to show you how
to obtain vivid colours by complementary use of pastels.
Ciao

Welcome Adriano,
I will enjoy seeing your work on this forum. Your pastels and oil paintings are beautiful. I am a great fan of Impressionism and admire anyone who has command of this style, and you certainly do.

Hi Patricia
I'm here just to improve my oil technique. I did'nt paint very much in oil
and I used pastels most of the time.
