Love the shading and detail here, great work on the realism and the almost romantic look of this. The detail in her hair and cloth is fantastic. Love the composition here. Well done!

Worth six..another beautiful watercolor. The colors blend so well and the dark hair this time against the background is lovely. The expression on the face is lovely too. Beautiful as always.

Great image you have gotten here. I love the textures you have used. This tells me a story well, the viewers can easily reflect their thoughts upon the ideas.

James, I see that you are making nice progress. I like your watercolors, but I am still partial towards your pencil work. :)

Another of your excellent watercolour portraits. I love your style. You seem to capture the nature of the subject so well. The subtle background colours enhance the subject and I like the pose. Great composition.

Comment from Debra Flieg


Very nice James, Has a more classic look , like from as painter in a previous century. Very nice epxresion on the girls face and very expressive. Has almost a Renoir feel to it. Very nice. Like this model a lot.

The facial features and skin tone color is well done. Like the positioning of the figure and the tilt of the head. Hair and other details well done. Background works well.

This is an extremely interesting painting with plenty of excellent detail. Colour and workmanship are also excellent. You have depicted every important nuance and the composition is very good indeed.
