your watercolour skill is amazing....we have different stlyes... and seem to use a few similar techniques, although the results differ greatly.... good to see real art on here.

Looks like me dear ole uncle Jim. Away from fantasy, maybe, but it's still fantastic work, as is all of yours.

"We´re far away from the fantasy realms now. "

Ahh, but are we? I find that very real and interesting regular folk like this wonderful looking fellow are the types I prefer to people my own little humble tales with. He must have been very happy with this, or the person who commisioned it!

This one demands a second look- a picture is so easy but a painting means someone had to care and that is really evident here. Nicely done.

It has such a natural look about it... especially how the cap seems to be turned at one side and lying flat on the other... and the furrowed brows, the lines on his face... the old wry looking hands... and the loose jumper... it seems quite real and life like, almost.

Well if there was any question about your talent for doing clothing folds (which there wasn't) it is now answered. That sweater looks extremely realistic The shadows and the highlights and everything about it just work together to make it look amazing. The thing that really stands out to me is his face. You've done so well with the expression and really made the wrinkles of his face look totally realistic. Fantastic work on the beard and glasses as well. I totally love the hat too - i like how it's folded over

Maneki-Neko [2004-05-25 19:49:38 +0000 UTC]

That looked so beautiful. You usually paint fantasy pics, but you also did a great job on real people as well. You've captured his expression quite wonderfully. I just couldn't tell if he's a fisherman unless you've said so in the title.

I am sure whoever commissioned it would be SO happy!

i just love the way most of your pieces have a hyperreal feeling. you've really harnessed the transparency of watercolours and added depth, solidity, and glorious detail with the acrylic.

Do you suppose that you could post a close up version of it? I'm not very good at watercolor and I'd really love to see a close up to learn from it.

This is more in the line of how I use watercolors

What i dont understand is: Why post one picture at a time?

I'm grateful that you don't post 30 at a time

But.. you are good in general so I don't think we should worry about that.. umm... anyway.. what happened to ^____^ Being all that I was going to say? YOU'RE GREAT ^^

Wow, the skin & folds in the fabric really show your mastery...the subtle shading & levels really make this look like an altered photo. This is when I love realism in watercolors. Of course, I still think he should have fairy wings.
