Connie is an RN I worked with in a jail and in home care. She is someone I admire very much. She is very funny but stands by her principles and does not back down when quality of care is challenged. She is wearing a hat and scarf that I made for her

very nice draw......I like it......she does have a very stearn look about her.......when I worked at a hospital, I had a head nurse who had that same stearn look about her.....she ran a "tight ship", but she was always honest and fair with everyone. I was a little bit intimidated by her, but I liked her and respected her. This is a great pic "L&C".......I bet "Connie" really liked the hat and scarf you made for her........:)

Her expression speaks volumes, like she knows what you're up to but she's not going to be bothered trying to talk to you about it 'cause she knows you won't listen and you just gotta figure it out your own self anyway. Love the way you drew her mouth especially. Those colours you used in the knitting look great on her.

you are pretty close there, there are some people she will take aside and tell them like it is but will not say it twice and she certainly knows what people are up to and she has sound clinical judgment

Thank you everyone, I really appreciate your comments :)

Flubbles (May 6, 2010)

Nice soft blending of the skin tones, I'm going to have to try that some time.

Teapot (May 7, 2010)

This turned out great. I like the way you used a limited amount of colours. The eyes are very expressive. BIGGER next time! please?

I love the finished results,great painting

Teapot (edited Mar 14, 2010)

I'm glad you're trying watercolour because I think the medium would lend itself to your style. If you can find it, there is a book by a woman I think you would really like. It's called 'How to Make a Watercolor Paint Itself' by Nita Engle. Thanks for sharing your class paintings. It takes awhile to work out all the properties of the different pigments--transparent, opaque, staining, etc. Then you have to play with working wet in wet, wet on dry, dry on dry, and refine your lost and found edge technique. It's hard and frustrating but also the most fun and magical when it works, IMO.

Something like this, Teapot? :)

Teapot (May 8, 2010)

Mmmm! Nice interplay of the warm and cool colours together! I got the sense of a forest fire. I am liking how you keep the movement and looseness with your paints. Though I can admire the control achieved, I don't find myself liking watercolours that get too 'tight', too detailed. This painting has a nice balance of a little detail with a lot of impression.
