Oil. by Stephen Hulse

That is very good Stephen - keep on at it!!

You have still managed to portray the luminosity that you always demonstrate Stephen. This is so lovely.

Fine work Stephen. I find oils take some getting used to, but then all mediums do. This is great.

I really like this Stephen, it's a lovely painting.

You have succeeded here Stephen.

A fine portrait - you've captured her calm demeanor and youth, Stephen.

It's good Stephen ... keep them coming

Thank you all for your kind comments.

A lovely sweet face, well done.

It is a nice portrait Stephen… you could look at working with thicker paint once you gain confidence. Have a look at the colours used by some of the professional artists. A variation in tone and hues will all help with the illusion of three-dimension! Good luck and keep at it!

Skillfully done Stephen.

Thank you Peter, Willie and Alan for your valuable comment.

A lovely portrait.

Charming Stephen.

Nicely painted Stephen, keep going with the oil.

A good result Stephen, the subtle touches of light on her face are lovely. It’ll get easier!
