Victorian Fisherman And His Great-Nephew

Tonally this is very strong Adele, I like it. It says hardship which they went through. The colour you have used bring that out.

I agree with John. The trouble with faces I find is that every stroke really does count and can change an expression so fast. Hands are challenging too and you've done a great job, Adele.

No, keep going with faces Adele, this is a damn good effort, full of character. Like one or two of the artists on pol, I am never too keen on direct copying but this is a useful exercise by all accounts.

Caught a beauty Adele

Wow Adele, love it, you certainly put your all into this, excellent.

Very impressive, Adele, I like it.

Thank you everyone for the encouragement. Did a lot of copying when I first started Alan and this was done back then. Now I am a little more confident and I tend to change things. The only time I will directly copy now is if I see something I really like and want to put up on my wall as is.

A lovely sepia painting. I love the old man's face Adele he has seen a hard life and exudes character.

Thank you Carole.
