How to paint a girl…...

I took Juliette Crane's e-course "How to paint a Girl". I have admired her style for a while now. Although i did the class months ago this week i was sick in bed and re-watched her painting. I can only highly recommend this generous lady's class.
Do yourself a favour. I'm glad i did.

I ask you is there anything more relaxing than watching someones painting process, with lovely music soundtrack and seeing the creation of a gorgeous piece? Doing your own comes close. But learning is great, too.

Although at this stage i feel like i am copying or imitating her style, i do see how inspiration, plus new technique, plus practice  helps one develop their own style. I have loved the trickiness of trying something new. Got me some new india ink gear. Love.

I once posted i couldn't do faces so i painted the backs of ladies, but i am developing some ways that i really like. Its in the eyes.

So here are some works in process……

 Little Red

Swirly Joy 

 Miss Skye Blu

Miss Poppy

Miss Boufant

I have enjoyed this playing so much. It has restored me.
I look forward to more learning, finding more of me in my paintings and spreading my wings and soaring with paints.

Thanks JC.
