I still think that in the way you handled light and the hair,
that this is your finest portrait...followed _very_ closely by others!
The reddish sanguine contributes much also...

Merci!
Pouvez-vous regarder, au début de ma galerie, mon dessin (à la sanguine) : "Russian people"? Il est très ancien. J'étudiais les Arts Plastiques à la Sorbonne
quand je l'ai fait...one century ago... C'est le dernier qui me reste de cette époque...
C'est un plaisir d'écrire en français sur DA!! MERCI!

I have seen ALL your paintings, including the acrylics It's certainly a good deep work, revealing of the artist you are. - ( the artististic part of you the less joyful and impulsive, more thoughtful and constructive? -) I remain fanatic of your watercolors .You know that!

Ah! mais! I have told you that I would have been pleased to enjoy the top of the head of your woman in white/blue gown... I have been watching it 5 minutes at least. As to the men's portraits, I have the feeling that they bring on their back all the despair of lost men... Why? I don't know!

Don't be sorry! It's important that you feel satisfied when painting! You aren't Van Gogh!
Can you tell me what kind of "step" you plan to get over? Technically, your acrylics are certainly good! I just wonder why all your relaxed, cool,
carefree models ( usually women...) are painted in watercolor, and your "men" often sad, absent, looking to endure an overwhelming destiny
are depicted in dark, cold acrylic colors? It's a good question for a psychanalyst... I admit that I would like to know how you choose your subjects....
Goog night, Dirk! M.

I'm very pleased that you turn your admiration towards women... I'm sure that there would be lots of things to tell about your "emotional" choices when painting, even if I'm unable to do it! For now, I content myself enjoying your so joyful/colored/lively - unequalled, unrivalled - watercolors!

yes, BR is right...in some ways,
such as the way you handle light & shadow,
and, the suggestive hair space,
this is your finest portraiture..

Did you read the BRipin's comment about the charcoal profile of Rebecca? Did you?

BR's comment about your ability to say so much with
suggestive lines, is so very true..esp in this of Reb.,,
and, in your new David...you capture an ineffable
aspect of personality that only the best portraitists
can...

So, you're digging into the archives... It's true that this drawing is technically good. If you say that the likeness is also good, i'm satisfied ! How strong I am!

You say so much about your subjects with so little. I love that negative space you left in her flowing hair. Gorgeous Michele!

Don't forget that I haven't given up the project of drawing Rebeccas'neck, in the right pose of Anaïs' one, that's to say with her hair got up in a very free bun? Two spins are sufficient! You can comb her with your own hands! If you want a drawing of your daughter's neck, you must convince her!I really desire to make this drawing...( When I did the pict of Anaïs, I was thinking of Rebecca)

Don't forget the right pose!
just the line of the eyebrows and the cheek; bring out carefully the neck, but keep some " crazy locks"?

I shall try...hopefully several shots or a video clip...
Becky may want to wait until she visits me at YLP
before she puts her hair up thusly...

My drawing (sanguine) of Rebecca has been chosen as so many "favourites" and in several collections .... I"m astonished!! It's not a masterpiece.. BRipin remains the most flattering, and perhaps the closer to the truth.....
Will you try to convince Rebecca getting her hair up?

If you are satisfied, I'm satisfied too... Rebecca will have been my most important source of inspiration for the last years...Not always with success!
