Rusty WIP #2

Gardening is the art that uses flowers and plants as paint,
and the soil and sky as canvas.

April

2005

I just finished Rusty’s underpainting. I’ll be completing this portrait tomorrow! BTW, here is what he will look like when he’s completed.

And in your spare time, watch this: Flash Sketch of a Woman

It is incredible.

Well Care, considering that you and Erikie are the ones who got me going in oils, I should thank you two for getting me into this medium! It takes a great deal of patience, which has taken a lot of time to get used to, to know that working in layers will produce the most life-like result. Waiting for layers to dry kills me sometimes since I see it finished and know that I’m one of only a few that can see it that way!

I do enjoy posting my works in progress though, somehow it brings a bit of magic into this gift for me, and I hope that all of my readers can feel it, too!

:cool:

I’m back I’m back!!! And I have to track back on your posts so I can catch up here but I wanted to tell you how sweet Rusty’s portrait is looking so good already! I know, it’s just the base for now but I’ve seen hundreds of your WIPs and I can tell this one will be just as amazingly precise! My only complaint is I’m running out of positive adjectives!!!:roll: Good thing you know I think you are awesome! xoxox I missed you!!!!
