Description She seems really like a Queen.

A portrait/exercise, painted in Painter Classic.
The image I took reference from is of Roos, daughter of my friend, great painter, Nancy van den Boom.
Here you can see the original image [link]
A beautiful picture where lights and her expression dance together in a mistical sensation.
I fell in love with the image from the first look.

Hello Nancy! Thanks for retaking a look and your beautiful words again ^^
I was really busy lately, how are you and how was your summer?
I also still love so much this portrait and happy you sent me the picture so I could make the portrait
A big hug back, my friend

This is an incredible painting. I saw this photograph and thought was great but I could never imagine such a great painting that does this lovely photograph justice. Well done. I love this

cool, this is really good. i like how you used the ink on her face and took it further almost as if u brought it to life.

(but what do i know)

YOu're the first one who noticed and focused on that partm it is in truth my favourite feature of the portrait, and what leade me to do it. I fell in love with this particular make up she made, in a way decoration, but also somekind of tentacles.

Thank!

Thank you, Silvio, very much.
I'm glad I managed to bring the original Roos' expression to my work.

silvio-feitosa In reply to mindofka [2005-09-25 19:16:22 +0000 UTC]

This is the artist's largest quality, to put expression in her work, to allow the work to speak, that pass emotion.

That' the goal, I think also.
When you don't need words to explain it, and when everybody can feel about it, even if differently

I'm actually trying to search and find a particular style in colour, but sometimes it seams too much heavy on some subjects, but I'll try to improve

good lucky, I hope you find a style that suits you. I know its hard. my style changed like every two days =_=;;

Mine too, then I find myself using about 6 or 7 of them for various things, in various techniques. But I really want to choose one dominant on the others, it's so long to develop

MemoryFades In reply to mindofka [2005-09-22 04:05:32 +0000 UTC]

I understand that. I'm the same way, but I think right now I"m a point wear I'm finnally done learning/mastering the phenetics and can begin to tweak and sytlize. but picking/creating a style is so hard and I"m always changing, but eventually I'll settle xP o.o

I thought like you that it's about choosing the style, but I found thet it cames alone, the style chooses you
