I watched your progress on the forum Lew , it’s come out really well despite your unhappiness with it . I think acrylics will suit you and as you get more comfortable with them you will produce some excellent results. I can see the changes you made and it’s certainly made it a better painting.

I like this very much Lew , super painting.

You have done really well Lewis, lots for good things in there. I really like the composition and vibrancy. Tackling a new medium is a challenge and you want to go back to your usual I find. But in the end it’s worth pressing on as I am finding with these new pencils from Derwent. I have not done any pencil work for years. Thanks for your encouraging comment.

Super result with acrylics Lewis. Love the eyes.

Works well. Great job 👏

It is an excellent result, Lewis!

I really like it Lewis, I think acrylics were perfect for it. No matter what medium you use, the ability to draw is essential and that's never been a problem for you!

This really is one brilliant painting Lewis. Top marks for persevering.

This is a brilliant result, Lewis - well worth persevering with.

I think that this is a really good and successful painting Lew…great strong colours and skilfully handled…

Looks great Lewis.

Very good Lewis and a super result from perseverance

I think this is a very successful painting Lewis. Well done for persevering- not easy when you’re used to using another medium.

Thanks to all for your very encouraging comments.

I'm not very confident with acrylic, it's versatility baffles me a bit! This is great, she is one cool customer! Brilliant draftsmanship as always.

Your initial pessimism was entirely misplaced. Great result.

What a great result Lewis, a super acrylic.

This is fantastic. Such character. 👌

My return to acrylic after many, many years. I posted a work in progress on this the other day, got fed up with it, put it aside, did something else, came back to it, thought it not too bad and finished it. I shall use acrylics again.

Self taught. Love drawing. Like to make pictures up, without using reference pics, often in cartoon style. I do other pictures where I do use reference. I'm knocking on a bit, born in 1940 in Greenwich, London. Retired, and loving it.
