Such a beautiful, talented woman has inspired many of us. Her essense as a person and an artist has left many of us in awe. Her veiw and love of life was like no other. I am pleased to see such talented young people representing her so well.
I love the pleasant expression on her face, as though even through all her troubles, life is still worth living. It has definiteley captured her impact on the world and energies around her. She also looks determined, like she has a purpose she needs to fufill.
Your work with charcoal was breathtaking. Charcoal can make a peice look flat, but pairing it with the watercolour gave it a dimension like no other. But it is easy to go overboard, but you seem to be very controlled.
Overall, this was a fantasic peice. Congradulations!

We've already discussed this. And typing it on a computer does not make "britishy" a real word.
You've also forgotten to capitalize, and you have no punctuation.

Denise, this is absolutely gorgeous. Such an enormous amount of personalty portrayed through the vibrant symphony of colours. These splatters actually blend in very nicely with the piece, because sometimes using watercolour and charcoal can flatten the piece, but the fact that you have used intensely vibrant colours next to blacks acts as an effective contrast. I like how you have used reds as mid tones on the arm and blues for shadows that overlap the work you have done with charcoal. It's simple, yet very effective.
The pencil work is amazing too. I love the sketchy contours around the cheekbone, they are expressive but rather tight. You have very good control.
I'm not very good at critiques but this is so expressive and full of life, It is an excellent tribute to the talent that was Amy Winehouse.

This has drawn my attention because I loved Amy Winehouse as a singer. Her voice was unique, very unconventional, full of color and brought a lot of emotions to thousands of people around the world.
Your portrait is very similar. It looks unique (unlike usual traditional portraits), is somehow unconventional, full of colors and emotions.
The slight smile that I can see on Amy's face makes her look happy, and that's something that I really like because you couldn't see a smile like that on her face very often, with how many inner demons she had to struggle with. Your portrait gives off a very positive vibe (it's not only her smile, but also the proud posture you gave her and the use of bright, vivid colors that all create the positive feeling that I'm talking about) and it just feels good to watch it.
Great piece of art altogether for me.

Another one that was done rather splendidly. It is not over the top with just enough detail and make sure you know how it is and yet is not super real. The hair seems to have a dark mass or splotch in the middle of where which i think detracts form the over all ascetic value of the work. The highlights on the nose blends too much into the background making it feel as tho half the nose is missing. Over all its a fantastic piece with great momentum and feelings, just makes you happy to see and want to rock out.

I only shoved vision onto four mainly cause you know i'm not a huge fan of splatters everywhere. Amy Winehouse was not my favorite artist of all time, but she had talent - and this is what a good artist does - pays tribute by doing something good. I'm quite jealous of the quality of this! The realism just suprises me in the sense that it almost seems as if she's moving across the page. I've never been able to pull photo realism like this - and i am just so in awe of the people who are able to do things like this.

OK here you go:
"Amy Winehouse had an amazing soul and so many feelings to express with her music. I named this portrait after her famous song "Back To Black", which I found deeply beautiful from the very first time I heard it. The news of her death left me so stunned and so sad that the only thing I could do is to draw her, as a personal tribute. She was a great singer, she left us too soon...but she will always live in our hearts."
could you please add also my Facebook page link? [link]
Thank you!
