That Lookby *hank1

Traditional Art / Paintings / Portraits

Dry-brush Watercolor
14 x 11¼ "
1989

How do you describe the expression of this girl?

My own thoughts: It's not anger. Is it boldness? Aristocratic? Arresting, haunted eyes. Inward-looking even as she looks outward at the world.

*****

From insightful comments about the expression of this girl, I've decided to post them:

"Uncompromising" (thanks to dangel88.)

"Commanding"

"Assuredness"

"Decisive" (thanks to Jenny)

"Purposeful" (thanks to osyris)

"Contemplation"

Hi Robert, I was looking at this piece at auction and struck by the subtle texture. Very nice. It appears to me that she is wearing a wool coat. How beautiful you have rendered it. I feel the pursed lips and strong gaze give this girl all the moxie one could ask for.

Gordon,

Thank you very much.

And by the way I'm reducing my prices at auction. Please pass that information to whomever you might know who has an interest.

I get as close as I can to the original, but can't show on the web the subtlety of that wool coat nor the (boasting here) incredible hair that I consider my trademark. Who can render hair as I can?

It is true Robert. Your work is exceptional in many different ways. You know I appreciate not only the result, but work both mental and physical that goes in to each one.

You appear to have mastered the Drybrush technique to the same degree Wyeth has. It's an amazing portrait and the subtle quality of the light makes the somewhat complex look on het face all the more expressive.

*hank1 Aug 30, 2007 Professional Traditional Artist

Stefan,

Thank you.

Sounds like you had a most inspiring trip.

Robert

Very Wyeth-esque, probably due to the dry-brush. Really lovely.

*Kneeling-Glory May 15, 2012 65 comments

In April, we asked group members to stalk a CV or $taff member to help dispel the myth that these people are too important for everyday deviants to get to know. In fact, many of them produce great art and have fun personalities just like you and me! Here's what we found out:Staffers:iconmoo nbeam1...
