I asked mom: "Will you sit and pose for me, I need to practice portrait painting. But probably you will not recognize yourself and you will have to sit still for more then 1 hour?" She was very dedicated "painter's mother", so she agreed. I managed to do this sketch in 40 minutes, tried to be quick and not to make her get tired, so missed several very important measurements checkings.. Her interest was huge and she asked me when saw the result: "Is it a woman?")))
I found fountain pen with blue ink on my way to the office. Fell in love from first sight and drew in blue all day long..
You have a good mother Irina:-) Now , of course I don't know how much it looks like her, but it is very well done.
ReplyDeleteAnd from the two others I specially like the last one, you are a very good sketcher.
I love the portrait of your mother, Irina! I see family resemblance!
ReplyDeleteHi Irina, I really admire your perseverance to achieve the result....your sketch portrait looks fine to me, even if I do not how much looks like your mother. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThe blue ink sketch is awesome!
ReplyDeleteAnd,I am so very touched by your mom;s patience to sit through the session.. with the intention of daughter dear being able to create something close to her heart!
Love your work with ink. You draw so well! Your mother's portrait is so special - a chance for the 2 of you to share in a moment. She looks very contemplative. And I just love the blue ink sketch!
