Well, here is the next stage in the picture. I have to tell you, working on the letters is extremely difficult and I was a bit frustrated. The only difference from last week’s picture is the “body” of the letters, which had to be done with the shading and highlighting. This took me 90 minutes, and I can’t say I’m thrilled with the result.
The teacher reminded me that I have only been doing this for a short time, and the masters study for years, so that made me feel better. But I hope it’s easier next week.
Looks pretty amazing to me, dont be so hard on yourself!!!
Thanks Ali. I just want to get better at it, and I will with practice.
Sure looks good to me Helen. Its worth the effort I would think.
Oh yes, it’s definitely worth the effort, Sharon. There’s no denying it’s not an easy art form, but I do enjoy it. Painting the long curves, especially, puts me in a kind of zen state!
