Done......

This recent portrait commission has been getting some lovely comments from visitors to the house and from viewers on Facebook. I've had the thumbs up from my customer and it will be winging it's way to it's new home next week. I'm already wondering who to do next, shall I go for someone popular? someone I particularly like? family member? I dunno just yet. I've emailed the finished piece to my virtual portrait tutor, Valerie Stewart. Her comments were 'AWESOME - CONGRATS'. Her style of portraiture is really incredible and I've enjoyed painting along with her in a virtual fashion by following her DVD's. You will find all the info you need on her basic portrait demo DVD at just £16 delivered to your door (CLICK HERE for details) For a wider range of tuition, her 6 DVD set is available at just £145. This covers all skin types, all ages, a wide range of features and lots lots more. Alternatively - you can paint along with the master herself when she flys to the UK for a 4 day portrait seminar. If you'd like to see my finished portrait just CLICK HERE This painting is only my 7th ever oil portrait project and it's my 2nd commission. I had no need to refer to the DVD's for this painting - Valerie's style is easy to follow and very, very easy to remember too. I am using her portrait brushes - (you only need 5) - and her portrait paints all of which are available direct from the UK.
