Hi, really breathtaking, though, when see in full sized I can see the brush strokes. Is that wanted? Old painter such as Ingres, or Jacques-Louis David used to add thin and transparent layers of oil painting in order to get perfect skin transparency and look. That is the technique I use myself, in concrete I use Dammar varnish, which I add blended with turpentine in very well calculated proportions to my oil, in order to get the previous layer to dry and be able to add a new one. I guess watching your art that you may not know this particular technique, and using it in your own art may open to you new realms of achievement and perfection.
Your art is really great, stunning, and professional. Moreover the babyΒ΄s so cute and lovely! ^^

I know that is your goal. Though, photography already do it. So why waste your time painting things that can already be photographed? That is why I paint fantasy Art, as it is the real art of today, the only field where you can still paint hyper-realistic with a sense of what you doing and continuing with the odd art tradition. IΒ΄ll be pleased to give you advices on painting and how to get more hyper realistic or how to use better oil or any medium. Thus think about the mean of painting. Which is the finality to paint? Only portraits, still life, landscapes? That is? But Photo isnΒ΄t here for that? Painting allows you to explore your mind, it is a mean to rake shots of your mind. Now that we are at least free to represent reality, we should use our talent paint the unseen and the dephts of our soul. Cos that is what art is for.

yeah I know what you mean, but portraits are just what I like! I think its a real challenge to get my artwork to look 100% like the person im painting, thats my aim, 100% perfect haha i dont want much do I !!! haha. I like fantasy art and things like that, I just dont think its me!! maybe in a few years, that'll change and I will experiment more!
I will try taking better photos next time too, because the camera I was using was abit rubbish haha, I have a much better one now!
thanks take care too

hi there, to do portrait is really hard if you want to catch the soul of the people you are painting: their expression, their stand, their feelings, their gaze... That is real art and cannot be done with photo, for photography is a cold eye, which get the perfect likeness in a row.. So what you try to do is very complicated and real Art, I am not guessing that. I hope someday you come to fantastic art, as you should be one of the greatest artist in that field! take care!

yeah thats what I want!! haha gonna be tough your right, and gonna take alot of hard work and dedication but I want to try haha!
Thanks for your lovely words, i hope that comes true haha, one day I'll get to my goal, it just might take awhile haha
