Thank you very much! I sti...Madbird:<br /><br />;)<br /><br />Filigree:<br />Thank you very much! I still feel that I have a lot to learn, but practice certainly helps. I will admit to having occasionally used some sort of <i>reference</i> for my figures, but I endeavor to reduce that as much as possible and to try to envision the pose in my head... as you can see the pose changed a bit from the initial sketch to the actual pose in the painting. Even when I do use a reference pose, I always draw it out from reference rather than tracing it via lightbox or other technology. I always find that (and this holds true for "vector art" as well) that a traced image often comes out looking somewhat static and devoid of ... <i>oomph</i><br /><br />Also... I am my own hand model. ;) Nearly every hand in every painting I do is drawn from referencing my own digits. <br /><br />These paints are wonderful; but the only caveat is that some of the more vivid pigments are not 100% colorfast, and may fade if exposed to a lot of light (especially sun-light)... I usually make super high-res scans and store the originals; but over the close to 16-17 years I have been using this type of paint, I have not really seen a lot of fading, even in the few I have hanging up. <br /><br />And I don't consider Eve evil ;) plus I have always had a thing for red-heads.Astroluc (Find me on Tumblr and Instagram @Astroluc)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02035410750985093621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956348843433634772.post-3566092774233752312009-12-28T17:25:23.077-05:002009-12-28T17:25:23.077-05:00Your technique in representing the figure is excel...Your technique in representing the figure is excellent. So many contemporary figurative artists trace their figures; most I would say. <br /><br />I have never tried that brand of watercolour before - how is that possible? I typically use Holbein wc and gouache, but these look mighty mighty nice. <br /><br />Oh and why is it that people always tend to depict "evil" women redheads? Hmm? : )Velouriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00359329171411037482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956348843433634772.post-90468459954147512292009-12-21T00:33:05.077-05:002009-12-21T00:33:05.077-05:00*sigh*
