Another beauty Seok , Iove the subtle tones you achieve and the balance of the man is perfect .

Seok, my father was stationed for a time in Egypt during WWII he brought back with him a wonderful album of watercolour paintings that he bought out there. A few years later as a young child I used to spend hours looking at these exotic (to me!) paintings of people, camels, pyramids etc - another world! Unfortunately I don't know what became of this album but your painting has brought back memories.

The figure is so well observed and painted, lovely movement in the material, super!

This is another great watercolour Seok, the figure of the man along with way you have depicted the clothing all with such movement in the figure is first class as usual, a really fine piece of watercolour painting .

This is a very well painted character study, has a feeling of movement to it and the shadows work well.

Another great one. I love the colours and the movement. Did you buy any of his eish though?

and thank you so much for your kind comments on my gallery. Very much appreciated, especially from an artist of your talent :)

As everyone has already commented a very well observed and painted figure. First class.

another great addition to your super gallery Seok.

Wonderful Seok, love the light and movement.

These paintings are so much better than photographs for recording trips. I just love the way you seem to effortlessly turn out these super little vignettes of life from far off places. Beautifully painted with confidence and flair.

Stunning painting Seok, I love the composition, very well painted as usual

Another terrific figure painting Seok. You can feel the purposeful stride and movement. One of my favourites in your wonderful collection.

Seok another brilliant painting - as soon as I saw it in the Gallery it had to be yours.

A lovely natural figure painting Seok.

superb use of watercolour, very natural figure, and super gallery Seok, well done :)

Seok, am just catching up and this one made me smile as we're back in Egypt and the bread is something we really enjoy. Another lovely painting, with so much character. You are truly versatile and accomplished.

Thank you so much, everyone, for your very kind comments! Jane - yes, despite having just returned from Israel and Turkey with a bunch of photos, I find myself continuing to raid my Egypt cachet from last year! There's just an awful lot in Egypt to inspire the artist!

This is again a great work, Seok. Beautifully executed. I love the way of leaving out any background.

Must have missed ths one! this you at your best Seok. A simple study of a figure - no background is needed. You have a great eye for a subject and I love your work.

Thank you very much, Kim, Mia, Robert and Tony!

He looks so very real. Absolutely superb :)

Thank you very much, Sarah!

I love it Seok! I can see and feel the heat and the drawing of the man is very good. Well done!

Thank you very much, Satu!
