My painting of Nicholas Blair
« on: February 26, 2005, 10:59:09 PM »
Here's a painting I did of Nicholas Blair. Now it was a first attempt... So I don't really like the way I did the eyes and the mustache. I need to pratice abit more with that.

Ohmygod, that is beautiful!

Do you by any chance sell your work on ebay, FireRose?  I ask because a friend bought a painting of Magda with a similar style that is to die for.

That's great FireRose.  Really.

Nicholas:  I am much to talented to spend my time drugging drinks.

I'm so jealous, Firerose!  I can't draw a straight line with a ruler.

Wow - good job, Firerose!   [clap]  DS fans are some of the most creative people out there, I swear...  :)
I really like your use of color, shapes...those flames...and the play on positive and negative space with his face and features... very, very good work for a first attempt, believe me.  LOL    :-*

Thanks for the compliments everyone...

No I haven't sold anything on e-bay. But I might at some point and time. Although this one won't be. It's already been spoken for. A friend of my mother's saw it the day I finished it and had a total hissy fit over it.

that is very impressive firerose.what is the medium being used?

It's acrylic on canvas.

Very nice work. The mustache and eyebrows are a little dark/thick for my tastes, but I do commend the excellent use of shadowing. Overall an EXCELLENT job!

Wow - that is fantastic!
