Portrait Of Niamh by Lisa McGinty

Beautiful harmony of line, Lisa. I admire the calligraphic contrast between the lines and the features of the face. Very impressed!

Ahh thank you. I also wanted to create a sense of the 3D person contained on the 2D canvas.

You've achieved wonderful colour and graduation in the skin tones here Lisa. Would love to have seen this without the heavy lines, which I feel spoil it for me.

Thank you Frank, I understand what your saying, as my partner doesn't like the lines either, but I quite like it! Ive downloaded an earlier version I took with my phone before I put the lines on so you can see what it looked like. I am always experimenting , and trying new ideas, and concepts. Im not attached to my work as I used to be when I first started so Im free to experiment.
