Cass

Portrait class is paying off. Might have to join one myself...

This is extremely good Linda. Love your skin tones.

Lolvely portrait, Linda, very well painted.

Very serene.

Cats? It is a lovely portrait Linda. A certain intensity about it. Well done.

Thanks for all your positive comments. "Cats" was meant to read "Cass", but predictive text took over.

You must have a good tutor. She is lovely and I like the skin tone colours.

Yes my tutor is really good, her advice is always spot on and she is also very encouraging and personable. Her name is Fiona Guy. I cannot recommend her enough.

Hello Linda I hope you don't mind me leaving an answer to a question you asked of me on your posting page. You could always delete it. The colours that I use for my pastel pencil life drawings are sanguine, ultramarine, yellow ochre and white. I use black sparingly unless there is a lot of black hair. I think you are right about not many people drawing from life. I don't know why as it does make any artist look very hard at the life model. Many more colours can be seen. I think I am very lucky with my art group having up to 3 weeks ( 9 hours ) to complete a picture with the same pose. I don't know where you live but if you are ever in South East London do pop into our group. ( Dulwich Art Group try Google). Do keep posting your life drawings - I will look out for them.
