The painting that almost ended my my enthusiasm for the hobby. It took so long to complete, I almost gave-up the whole idea of even trying to be an artist. Started some time in 2011 - and finished in May 2012!! A beautiful Filipina girl from the Pretty Po Kami facebook group page1 point -

Internationally renowned photographer David Noton very kindly gave me permission to use his photograph Portrait of a girl, Vang Vieng, Laos as the basis for a practise painting - and I did warn him that the results of my efforts would probably end-up bearing very little resemblance to his excellent photo. I wasn't wrong!! If you check-out the link, above, you will see that the subject of the photo was a child - whereas my feable attempt has made her look like a young lady. Still, even though this looks nothing like the girl in the photo, I kind of like her strange expression - and I did have fun trying with this one!

Purely from imagination. The feathers are well 'over the top.' It's a kind of self-portrait... Kind of how I would like to imagine myself as a native North American Indian with my very own style of feathery headdress... Loads and loads of feathers and colors all over the place!

The final version of my Feathery Head Dress painting. After I uploaded the earlier version, I realized that the ear looked awful, so I covered it up with an extension of the head band, to which the lower feathers are attached.1 point -

This was about my third attempt at painting a pastel portrait from a photo of a lovely Thai girl, called Tussinee. Each attempt was getting progressively worse than the previous. When I finally realized that I just wasn't in the mood for painting, I lost my patience with it and defaced the thing completely. Then again, when I looked at it, I just thought; "Hey! I'm going to keep this one!"

From a photo of Mita Rani Das After laying-out the initial colour scheme, I brushed over the different colours with a soft brush dipped in clean water, in order to make a sort of watercolor-type background wash.

The finished article. This is as far as I am going with this. If try to improve it, I will just end-up spoiling the painting. Anyway, I think it captures something of that beautiful locomotive blasting the snow away as it pulls a train through the first snowfall of winter.. I would just like to thank Jim Winsor for allowing me use his excellent photograph - to which this feeble attempt of mine does very little justice!© © Jim Winsor

This was the painting at the end of the second session. Just starting to add some detail and give it some form. At this stage, the painting is more like a childish colored crayon sketch - but I have high hopes for this one when it is finished!1 point -

This is the first stage of the painting. I made the background color scheme by blocking-in the main colors with soft pastels on heavy, course-grained watercolor paper - and then going over the different areas with clean water on a paint brush in order to make a watercolor wash effect. I am basing this painting on a really nice photo by Jim Winsor. http://www.facebook.com/jim.winsor.75 Photo used as reference material with Jim's very kind permission. The original photograph on which this painting will be based, can be down-loaded at: http://www.photoartf...ailway-cp-8856/ The photo was taken in October 2011 and Jim writes: "This was so far the most significant snowfall we have had yet this year. I braved the elements today to capture this rare for me image of such a beauty. I arrived at this location and it was dull and overcast which soon gave way to a lite blowing snowfall. This beauty could be heard off in the distance and low and behold out of the blowing snow she came."© © Jim Winsor

My attempt at copying a photo of a teenage girl's self-shot photo on Facebook.com Argghh... Not quite what I wanted but it will have to do. At least I am managing to keep myself in the mood for painting. With these disappointing portrait attempts, I am tempted to stick to the landscapes. Oh well... Who knows? If I keep trying, I might one day be able to do a pretty girl's face justice in my art?

Or, in English... "Jelyn Sitting on her Father's Motorbike!" I'm not going to post all the different stages of this one. Surfice it to say, it's on a big sheet of high quality, very rough watercolor paper - and I am really enjoying myself here! (But don't ask me for the brand of paper. I'm hopeless at these things! I buy all the different brands that I fancy, in order to try them out and see which one suits me the best... Then I get the names mixed-up and I don't even know which is which!!)1 point -

The finished painting. Not quite what I had hoped it would be but, anyway, it was useful practise and I hope the next one will be better! I was reasonably happy with the way Jelyn, (the younger of the two girls,) turned out. I like a bit of 'style' or 'artistic licence' in a painting and, no matter how good I may get in the future, I don't think that I will ever attempt to do "photo reallism" in a painting. I really admire the skill and patience of those who do that kind of art but, for myself, I'd rather use my camera for photo reallism...1 point
