You seem to capture so much of each person (front or back view) so quickly. I have no idea how long it takes to add the color once you get home...but you might think of handing out cards and examples of what you do and they could call you if they want the finished painting.<BR/>I am such the business woman! ;-)Lynn Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12094038275377357886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1700412250463044349.post-4254959633284831422008-07-10T15:56:00.000+02:002008-07-10T15:56:00.000+02:00You captured the Spanish guy wonderfully and I see...You captured the Spanish guy wonderfully and I see a hint of knowledge in his face of you drawing him too.<BR/>The other drawing is wonderful too.

These are fantastic, as always.<BR/><BR/>I love the way you were able to feel the aura around this Spanish man knowing it was positive to sketch him with him knowing it. I am sure you were able to get things you would otherwise not be able to get from observing from a distance (of course there are things you can get from observing from a distance you can't get from close up, too). I am thinking the details and the softness in his face...of course the angle is wonderful.<BR/><BR/>And the guy with the soft hair...I like her, but it is wonderful you have experimented with this and know what works for you. I am also thinking the change in the shirt color makes a huge difference. The dark skin really shines with this lemony yellow shirt!<BR/><BR/>Thanks Andrea! Great work!Andrea and Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15337904921232330088noreply@blogger.com
