Portraits consume my every painting hour~ alas, I cannot paint enough of them to satiate. Bringing their moods to life is divine. LOL.
Anyway, I am really having fun with them. Here, I used an older, holly hobby-like piece I did, and then remixed. Lots of layers and texture in the background.

great re-use
How wonderful to have that artists fire within! As usual, this is beautiful!

Ohhhh, this is great. I love mixed media. Just starting out myself and have a long way to go. But I’m going to enjoy the journey.
You have a great talent, and I’ve noticed you live on the west coast. I’m originally from Vancouver, Canada, although I live in a much sunnier and warmer place south of the equator now.

I’m jealous of that better weather!😉 I’m in bellingham, which is sunny but only for today! Try anything Christy Tomlinson on Utube, if you like her style, go to her website. Her online tutorials are cheap, fun, abundant, super helpful! I took every single workshop last year and grew a ton. 👍🔺
Oh great. Thanks for the advice. I will definitely give it a look at. Yea, I know what you mean about the weather. Vancouver and Bellingham are so close and I’m sure they get the same weather. I live in Brazil now, and although we are heading into our winter, and it’s cooler, we still get mostly sunny days. Plus it’s warm when you’re directly in the sun.

Brazil!? Wow!!🌞🌞🌞
These are lovely! 🙂
Thank Janette!👏👏🔺
love the layers and textures. almost edible!
I love seeing all those layers build up on mixed media too~ something palpable ha ha 😉
Love the red heads
Your work is beautiful! I wish I could paint like that. I’m not very good at portraits. Very nicely done!
Awww….FYI 18 months ago I couldn’t paint portraits either! Practice practice…..😉..👏👏👏👏🔺
I will! Thank you for the tips 🙂
