Karakoram tribesman.

Amazingly good work.

well done under pressure Andre.bold brush work really brings this to life soft and sharp edges and tonal contrast are well done

Thank you Michael, you're very kind.

Thanks David. Setting the time limit and using larger brushes helps me get away from my usual habit of fiddling.

Ah - so you are a fiddler like me Andre. Can't believe something of this quality took less than 3 hours. There may be hope for me yet!

Nicely done Andre, I like the bold brush strokes they give strength to the work. I must say he has a grander air about him than most of the hill folk I worked with during my trips into the Karakoram mountains, fantastic people some of whom became my good friends. I like the pallett you have used on him and his clothes, nice one.

Excellent

Outstanding work for a 3 hour time limit Andre.
