So glad Dennis included this in the watercolor series before he switched to pastels. What a wonderful challenge this was to paint - an older person's creases are definitely more difficult to do than a baby's!

  Sharon! Will you look at you?! Super job on your portrait painting.  Shadings and colourings are very well done! 

[Sacgal/Sharon]

Thanks, Val - there's so much character in this gentleman's face - it was amazing to see the paper transform from a traced figure into a true portrait...glad I wasn't doing this as a paint-a-long - this took a lot of stop and go for me!

    He will certainly recognize himself

[Sacgal/Sharon]

What a nice compliment, Dennis - thanks!!

Nice job Sharon! I agree, there is so much character in his face, love it

[Happychappy]

    Very nice painting Sharon.  Africans have very expressive faces, especially the little children and are therefore very interesting to draw/paint.   Patricia

Thanks, Denise and Patricia - it's still amazing to me what Dennis has been able to guide us to do with our paintbrushes!

[NHC50]

Very impressive Sharon.

Sharon, I have always maintained that Dennis and Nolan are the best tutors we could ever wish for and we are just so blessed to have found them.   Patricia

Great job Ilinca. This is your 3rd painting? Wow!! My only comment is the for the eyes. The white part is too white. Look at the picture, it has some reddish/ orange in them; like little blood vessels
