Portrait by Denise Cat

Now that’s progress! Some good construction and modelling in that face, well done Denise… That highlight in the eye looks a bit round and large… or is it my imagination!

Definitely improving as Alan said Denise. Well done you.

Good modelling and blending.

Thanks Alan and I think you might be right Alan about the highlight. An easy fix. I've been using Venetian Red and Cerulean for my skin tones. I really like the mix. Thanks very much Chris and Linda.

It’s a superb portrait Denise, certainly demonstrates you talent and skill .

Just lovely Denise, you get better and better.

Very good relaxed pose Denise and I like the jumper!

Nice warm palette Denise.

Absolutely beautiful artwork.

Wonderful expression.

That is a fine portrait Denise.

She is lovely Denise.

She has my hairstyle - I did a double take for a moment! This is fabulous Denise, I would love to get into portraits though am a little scared! Your work and attitude is most inspiring.

Very much appreciated Paul, Lewis, Tessa, Marjorie, Stephen, Sandra, Jiri, Sylvia and Sarah. Sarah, I never thought for a moment I would ever be capable of doing a portrait. I would say, make a start and then just practice. You will start to see improvements the more practice you get.

Great use of lights and darks here Denise. I also admire the features which are full of character.

One go your best in my opinion Denise, excellent!

Fabulous portrait Denise.

I agree with everything Alan says. Very well done, Denise, just touch less on the eye highlight will do it!
