Are they live models you painted?!?

I like the breezy stroke rendition.
It looks so easy spreading those pastels on the sketch paper.
Bold but not nasty.
Nude but not obscene.

Harmonious colors.
Fine features & textures.
Sharply focused.
Compact framing.
Subdued lighting.

Thanks for sharing...

Very nice oil pastel on pastel. You really gone and done it this in this lovely work of art. It tell us of your great love for women and their figure in a portrait setting, where your cool colors sooth our soul at each view. I like the pose very much, and how it reminds me of some of my work with women. Over the years I have come appreciate your dedication to the arts, and your love of color, and form. Thanks for sharing your work.

Beautiful lady you have created here, I like your choice of colors, her pose and the expression you have given her. Her dark hair Is awesome and I like the jewelry on her wrist.

nice draw of the woman, but I think the white hello around her distracts

good technique, creativity and initial impact

good composition and presentation

    Thank you so very very much I wasn?t sure if the blue pastel board would be enough
Comment from El-mundo


Another finely painted suggestive nude piece from what must be your quickly growing portfolio - following the same formula that works well in each piece I have seen. Good proportion and eye for the shapes and curves of the naked female form, excellent detail on the facial features, always with good eyes and also an expression that creates the mood of the piece a lot of the time, which you do very well and makes the model unique to each piece and not just generic. Fine detail and good use of colours - good work once more and well done :)

Beautiful painting done on pastel. The soft colors and shading of the girl are incredible. Her dark hair is a stand out and her beauty has been portrayed remarkably well. Pleasure to view and review this wonderful talent.

Comment from Pamela Ruggiero


Hi. I know you have been working with this model for a long time. Good news! I think you got both breasts right! The only possible flaw I see is in the right arm/shoulder area next to the right breast on the left side of the painting. I have seen you really work on this and improve. You have far more patience than I do. Nice job. Thank you for sharing and best of luck with this image

Comment from Denise B


I'm not sure she needs the glow of the surrounding highlight. Quite lovely without it. Nice lines and balance throughout the figure. Good color use of tone and highlights. Love the dark hair and eyes to add drama. Well done.
