A lovely drawing of your grandson Denise. I like the softness you’ve managed on his face. The pose is great too.

Many thanks Paul, Marjorie, Spencer, Peter, Skylar, Tessa and Christine. Yes he's a good boy, will sit if watching a Batman film or he has a good book to read, he's an avid reader. Plays a lot of football too.

Having tried this myself, I know how difficult it can be with youngsters. Excellent work Denise.

Tough task trying to draw children but not for you it seems Denise!

Thanks very much Stephen, Carole, Linda, Chris, Lewis Heather Martin, Karen, George, Alan and Russell. Every drawing and painting has been a tough task Russell, especially when you never thought you were ever capable. It's through hard work, commitment and devotion, that when I set myself a task, I try my very best to achieve it.

Think you might have taken my comment as a somewhat negative response to your drawing? Nothing could be further form the truth Denise, I was being complimentary.

Posted by Russell Edwards on Mon 15 May 15:21:33

Oh no Russell, I did take it as a compliment thank you. I was just explaining that art is very challenging and it's good to have something you can focus on that does stretch what you thought you were capable of.

Quick portrait of my grandson, done from life this afternoon. He watched a film on the Marvel channel and he sat right through the film turning his head to the side when I asked. I got the main features and shadowing in from there. I'd sketched the lines of the body but had to work on that when he had gone.

Denise Cat

My name is, Denise. I started painting at the end of April during the Covid lockdown 2020. I’ve never painted before or had any experience of doing any art. I walked into a shop, bought some watercolours and have been trying to teach myself. I have pain conditions and had to retire early last year…
