On the Balcony
This was my first go in oils at the fortress. Painting into the sun I tried to show the the brightness by giving contrast to the picture but I did struggle with the medium.
Painting Christina.
This was our only rainy day and so I decided to paint a picture of the lovely Christina. It had been her birthday and I had drawn a portrait for her. Her dear friend Irene thought I hadn't captured Christina, so this was a second attempt.Would love to have done it from life but the photo was a good start.
Still hope to do one of Irene, she has a beautiful, classic smile.

Self. Oil A3
Painted with strong light from my right, hence the squinted eye. And no I havent got dungerees on!
I found the waterbased oils were more like acrylics than oil in aplication. Although the mixing is similar.
