8"x10" - Acrylic
This is my submission to the Different Strokes for Different Folks challenge. It WAS a real challenge for me as it is my very first portrait done with a brush. It was a lot of fun, and it has encouraged me to practice more often.

Beautiful lighting Sandrine! This portrait is extremely eye-cathing on the DSFDF site! Nice job!
ReplyDeleteThank you Pattie. It was so much fun!
ReplyDeleteWonderful job with the challenge, Sandrine. I agree, beautiful lighting.
ReplyDeleteWow! This is wonderful, Sandrine! I love his big smile. Great job! Akiko
ReplyDeleteGreat portrait! Love the lighting and the warm colors. Its a sure winner, and doesn't look one bit like your first with a brush :)
ReplyDeleteLooks great! Much better than mine of you I'm sory to say. I'm SO slow. Didn't have nearly enough time. Still it was fun. Thanks for doing such a great job on me!
ReplyDeletewonderful portrait for DSFDF. Love that lighting you did.
ReplyDeleteFantastic work, Sandrine! Love your color choices, and the back-lighting is wonderful. Great!
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone.
ReplyDeleteI had a hard taking the right picture to show the right colors and lighting. I added a new picture on top to show what the face is more like.
Andy, I think that the fact that we're all different in our styles, mediums, and the way we work... that's what makes this challenge so much fun. As long as you had fun and enjoyed yourself, that's what matters, I think that's what the point was.

You caught a fantastic likeness and I love the way you used the light. Keep up the great work in 2010.
ReplyDeleteWhat a bright and happy face and you did a beautiful job!
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous - great lighting and so much personality emanating from the painting!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the portrait, Sandrine. You did a beautiful job on the lighting for a very dramatic portrait.
ReplyDeleteYou really captured his likeness, Sandrine! And I should know...this is my husband on our wedding day last August. Thats why he was smiling! Beautiful! Thank you sooo much!

You did an excellent job on this portrait and I hope to see more from you. The colors are gorgeous together.
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone.

Beautiful job, Sandrine. Can't believe it's your first portrait! It really is a standout - lighting, color, everything. And you even captured the twinkle in his eyes!
ReplyDeleteThank you LeeAnn. It's not my first portrait ever. I've done portraits with pastels, charcoal, and graphite. It was my first time with brushes which make me very uncomfortable because I can't control them the way I want yet.
ReplyDeleteOh! Well, the talent is within you, whatever you happen to use, and the brushes seem to be your best friends here!
ReplyDeleteYou did a fantastic job on this portrait. The expression is so natural and the warm colors splendid. Bravo!
