We've suffered 3 days of snow and ice but this morning the last traces of it have gone. It's been very hairy walking across my patio to the studio and storage areas at times. But, if nothing else, I've been enjoying picking away at my portrait project in the warm whenever I can. I've been getting a lot of feedback on the work as Alan, both daughters and their boyfriends' have seen this take shape from blank canvas stage. I've had Valerie Stewart to keep me company as I paint, to remind me of a few things. But.......I do find I'm watching less and less of her DVD now. I hope that means I've followed it enough to just get on with it. Later today I will be working the mouth, tongue and teeth area and I will have to pull out Valerie's DVD that specifically covers that area. If you'd like to paint along with a virtual Valerie, you'll find her DVD's HERE, starting at just £16 delivered to your door. She shows how to mix the various paint colours and how to create portraits using just 5 brushes. These products can be found HERE, starting at just £17.50 for a complete brush set. And of course, if you'd like to paint along with Valerie in person, she'll be teaching a seminar in Capel St Mary in June. Details of the workshops can be found HERE
