Another in my series of demonstrations for a portrait painting class I taught at an art school in Los Angeles.

”A work of art which inspires us comes from no quibbling or uncertain man. It is the manifest of a very positive nature in great enjoyment, and at the very moment the work was done.” - Robert Henri

I really get the sense of the convexity of the iris. yet it is so concisely described.

Nice work, @chessmonster! My sister, @jenerallee78 finally joined Steemit. She is a much better artist than I am. I suggested she follow you. Once she starts posting her art work here on Steemit, I think she will gain a good following.

[chessmonster]

Thanks ! @countryinspired I'll check out her work.

Inlove with your hot colours and blocky brushstrokes!

[chessmonster]

Thank you! @walperion Working under a warm spotlight and leaving it blocky for my students so they could clearly grasp the concepts of light and shadow separated by a halftone. Only thing is, I forgot the halftone on her nose! LOL I guess I got away with it though.

realistic yet the painting itself seems so simple, well done :)

@mdog Thanks!
