Lilac Allure8x10 inches
Underpainted with acrylics, followed by oils on Gessobord
More experimenting with oils on Gessobord and as mentioned above, this time I underpainted with acrylics to speed up the process which seemed to work well. Without doubt drawing and painting eyes has always been my favourite subject - they are so emotive and tell their own story. I also find the human face a fascinating canvas in it's own right and have a string of ideas that I would like to paint, using faces, and in particular eyes as the initial focus.

This is stunning Karen - love the reflected lilac tones on her skin
Visually stunning and all of a sudden I have an idea for a painting myself! LOL Thanks Karen! by the way, my two little pieces arrived and they are amazing! I've framed them up and am going to give them to my new pending granddaughter at the baby shower next week!
Beautiful work Karen. Very expressive eyes and the fan brings out the lovely eye color.
Great job. Looking forward to seeing what you have up your sleeve for more paintings with eyes.
