Michal's little gallery

Haha, you got it, Taron!

Guys, thank you all for your nice comments! I really appreciate that!

Sorry for posting the photo in this thread. Just this one.

Oooooooh!
Yah, but you kinda don't want to get that sort of high from what I've read...but it gives you one, too!

ok I know there is a Leprechaun in there somewhere on loan from Ireland Great scene!

My attempt to catch my liitle sweet daughter Johana. It looks that the result is not so accurate. I asked Johana "who is it"? The reply was "a boy".

Hey,
a little cute daughter.
Congrats!!
She is very young - colors are counting. Put up the saturation and she will get herself maybe easier.
It's a lovely piece of art, your picture.
I really think, some saturation couldn't harm. But that's my personal taste.
Children faces are hard to catch. You made a good job there

Best,

Knacki

I can kinda recognize her!
But I think you should just relax yourself a little, consider it like any other painting- which is difficult- and go at it more freely. When it's personal, it's always tricky. I guess, you could make a page with a whole set of portraits of her from different perspectives and so on, just to actually get used to it for yourself, not so much for practicing, you know. I can imagine that this could work!?

OH, and don't forget to share some of your sketches!

Thank you Tartan, Knacki, Taron for your comments!

I will have to do more studies with no doubts. And your advices will be taken to my heart!

I can share my next sketches if you don´t mind that they will be drawn with pencil. It was done in case of this last painting too. I can use a different thread for them because they will not relate to Verve.

Grrrr...makes me want to release the next version even more...because sketching is a heck of a lot better in it already!
Very nice sketch, though!

From my point of view, current Verve is very good for sketching too. My problem is that I still don´t have graphic tablet. It is easier for me to use a pencil, scan the result and complete it in Verve than paint all using mouse only (as I did in most cases).
In any case, thank you Taron! ..and I would really like to see some new painting from you!? What about to paint some scenery from autumn Croatia?

[Taron]

You ...whaaat? You still do NOT have a graphics tablet?
That is mad, man...
...all the more amazing what you're doing, no doubt!

Anyhow, you should have a look at a used Wacom Intuos3. Those should be fairly affordable and not too hard to find. ...you must have one!
