Thank you :D
You too man, I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work :D

LaLa how's the Kobe coming along?

Haven’t even started sadly! Just not had the time at all. Hopefully in the coming weeks! :fc: Isolation might give me chance to do it! :hehe:

I don’t even know if it will be of Kobe now. Depends if I’m in the mood or not when the time comes but he’s definitely “on the list”. I’ve seen this amazing photo of Joni Mitchell that looks like a good challenge - it’s from a few years ago so she’s lovely and aged plus she’s smoking in it which would give me good practice at hands! Idk.

Love all the work posted here! So many different styles.

Oil Painting #2 is in motion:

All drawn up on the canvas here (20”x24” again) and then today I’ve toned it all with a weak solution of Burnt Umber and solvent to lock in the line work and add a fleshy tone to work from as a base (easier than working from bright white I find).

Once she’s fully dried out in the garden shed I’ll be painting away, hopefully in the next couple of days! Will keep me busy at least. Dreading it a bit now actually... :joker:

I'm sure it will be great ,can't wait to see it, I have started my artwork again during this crisis,I find it a great hobby, good luck with the painting.:wavey:

Thank you, hope so! Ah what have you been doing? Post pics if you can be nice to see some more art! :hee:

I will post some when they are finished , have to do them when I can as get interrupted so much:wavey: I have been doing portraits mainly.

Made a start finally, this is just under an hour's work, managed to do the whole hand tonight:

Have never painted a hand before and I'm shocked at how well it's coming out, so far anyway at least! :fc:

Its brilliant,the detail is spot on,well done LaLa :wavey:

Wow... It must be wonderful to be able to draw like that. I am green with envy.

Wow LaLa, that looks brilliant :)

Thank you!! I'm pretty much done with the hands now, I went back and worked into the ring and cigarette more after this photograph but other than that the hands are done. Went much smoother than I had anticipated. :joker:

I started working up above the hands today and onto her left eye and cheek, very challenging trying to capture "age" properly but I'm taking my time and trying not to get too flustered. Art is a great distraction from everything right now - I recommend it if you've got some time and are feeling generally anxious about the current situation. Just sit, stick some music on and paint/draw/make something/anything. :love:

Oops the embedded Tweet wasn’t working just realised! Should be now.

Great work, Jonny :clap1:

That’s brilliant. I always struggled drawing people/portraits. I dug out my pencils and sketch pad yesterday wiped away the dust and going to do a drawing for my best mates grandson....

That's what I have done rusti,love drawing but haven't done much lately until this lockdown ,so I am drawing again,make sure you post your stuff I like looking at different styles of art, good luck with it ,and Johnni ,fantastic work.
This is a rough sketch I am going to paint,it's not brilliant I have to tweak it but first I have attempted in a while, Im a bit rusti,lol excuse the pun :wavey:

Thank you!

Thank you! Good on you. Now is the perfect time to do it!

Thank you Kazanne! That’s incredible it looks just like him!

I will...hope you are all ok Kaz (can’t seem to post emojis on here anymore) so waving x

Have you started any yet rusti ? once I get into them I hate being interrupted, so I do most of mine late at night, make sure you post your stuff,and we are all fine rusti as I hope you and yours are,take care.:wavey:

I just finished it tonight! Finally. About 23 hours work. Will post the finished piece when I take some good snaps tomorrow in the daylight!

Cant wait to see it Jonny:wavey:

Did one in 3 hours today....wish I knew how to put it on here...I’m useless when it comes to stuff like that.

The detail is brilliant...and the eyes are sooo real. Amazing.

Go to Imgur rusti its free ,upload it to there and it will give you a link to post it on here
