You are extremely good with the pencil, and i would be happy to be your friend. I particulary like your landscapes, to achieve the right light and shade with the pencil is hard (well for me it is).

At 3:51am on November 30, 2009, Tom Helfert said…: Charlee, I don't know of any site to help with watercolor portraits, but I started with a book by Jan Kunz: "Painting Watercolor Portraits that Glow". Marvelous resource. And check out Paintdoodles.com. Peter Saw's CD is a God-send. Worth twice the price. He doesn't do portraits on there, but the wealth of watercolor knowledge is endless on that one CD.

Underpainting: yes. The way I do it, I use a gazillion thin glazes built up to the value I want. Sometimes the first layer is a light version of the flesh tone. Sometimes in the hair it's a light layer of green..

At 2:27pm on November 26, 2009, Maureen Middleton said…: Thankyou for your lovely comments about my Snowy Squirrel. I have been looking through your artwork and you are obviously very talented. Congratulations, your portraits are superb as are all your other graphite drawings. Have you tried colour? I used to always just draw with graphite but someone prompted me to try soft pastel for portraits and I have just loved them since then. There are some of mine on my artwork page if you care to have a look to see what they are like. Soft pastel gives one the ability to make the subject's skin look translucent in a very 'alive' way. Thanks again!
