Georges Seurat by Satu Vartiainen

I new I recognised that face. Yes its Georges without his dots alright. Good marks work with the charcoal Satu.

Yes, a good powerful charcoal sketch to be sure of this great artist.

Excellent Satu!!

It's a very good likeness Satu. You have the marks and rubs nicely.

Thank you very much John, Alan, Fiona and Michael for your kind comments.

Lovely sketch Satu and I particularly like his hair.

A stunning portrait, Satu. Well done!

Excellent. It is quite striking. You've sketched his hair very well. And I do like the look in his eyes.

Many thanks Adele, Mia and Henry for your lovely comments.

A great portrait Satu, even if the charcoal is too soft.

Thank you Carole, I bought a new one this morning.

Soft charcoal can be useful. Nothing wrong with this portrait!

Thank you Gudrun, the only problem was that I couldn't press it freely without it flying everywhere.

How about painting him in pointillist style? No, that would take way too long!

A very nice sketch of the great man, like the rubs ,not overdone. A real nice job.

Thank you very much Marjorie and Andre for the lovely comments. I have done three or four paintings in pointillism and it's quite rewarding but as you said, Marjorie, it's very time consuming.

A very expressive piece, Satu. I really like your variety of marks and your tonal work is excellent. Superb work!
