No, this is not the last couple getting old. Even if the young man looks a lot like the older one. They are the parents of the young married boy. This is a present they received for their 20th wedding anniversary.

Another commission done. A present the young man gave his wife. I did it in a short time, but I enjoyed the process.

Ballerina

Materials: oils on A4 Fabriano oil paper, 300g.
Reference: Ballerina

This is the first time I try oils and the second work I made using colors (first I used pastels). It was fun to do and to discover the feel of using something else but graphite. There is a lot to learn about oils, but I’ll definitely try it again.

Laurie Lipton

Browsing through the internet, I found the Laurie Lipton‘s web site. A great graphite artist, one of those artists you fall in love with at first sight of her work.. I was really shocked by the high quality of the drawings, by the techniques, details and imagination. You might also be shocked by the theme of the most drawings, but I found them genial approaches. A perfect Angelina Jolie portrait? No way. A point of view, a conception or a relief of an imaginary world. This is what Laurie’s work is.
