The Choirmaster (a UDOL)

Comments

I find your UDOLs absolutely fantastic Thea! You have found a style very unique to you and the little drawings are little gems!!! Like this Choirmaster, he looks fabulous and everything works so well together, the drawing is superb and the use of watercolour exquisite. Long live UDOLS!

This is so good, the face is animated and interesting Thea. The palette for his face is great.

He looks like a happy chap! Super UDOL and isn't it surprising just how much character comes across in the one liner drawings?

Thank you Satu, Carole, Louise, Dennis, Debs and Fiona - very kind of you. I haven't dared suggest that Roger shows this portrait to the man in question - not sure how it would go down!

I know OL is one-liner, but ...upside down. Have you dared show it yet? Fantastic drawings, and I agree, it Ols have strengthened your style.

Thank you very much Michael, Avril and Gudrun. I agree Gudrun that this method has widened my drawing technique - never expected it to as it just started as a bit of fun.

Not one for guessing as it is my husbands choirmaster. He does have rather a jolly face and I though it might lend itself to a one liner portrait. It has turned out to be a bit of a caricature, but then I find these one liners do have a tendency to do that. Anyway, I had a bit of fun with it.

SPATTER BUNNY - I love the effect spattering has on a painting, so I decided to see what happened if I took this a stage further and did the whole painting by spattering. I had to protect the areas I didn&#39;t want spatter on and then just went for
