Painting at the moment is a luxury, but didn't want to miss Paint Party Friday this week, even if I cannot show very much.
This mainly done in waterbased oils and added some gold acrylic to the hair. |
This is the third set of layers on 'Lady at the Opera', forgot to take a photo of the 2nd stage but am showing the first stage below this photo
Third stage |
First stage |
This morning at Art Class we should be working on our end of term project..........but silly me didn't realise we actually did this in class as have been working on mine at home and its very nearly completed, plus I did more than one...............so am going to have to bluff it today..........we have two weeks in class to complete it, so its going to take a lot of bluffing on my part, just hope I don't blush and stutter too much as it will completely give the game away.............oops.
Will see you all when I get back from class. In the meantime have a great weekend and take care of yourselves, hugs Annette xx

I have to say, never like it when my days get shorter in winter! You are doing a beautiful job with your oil paint, very nice portraits ♥
Lovely ladies! It's fun seeing the colors added, I'm not so good at that, although I'm too chicken to try faces. :) Good luck with the class and bluffing. Cheers!
Nice to see the layers coming on like magic!
I love your quirky people, what a great blog, so different. Makes me want to smile. Will be following your blog with interest.
beautiful paintings!
So pretty! I'm always amazed at those who paint with oils. I've never been able to handle them. Great job! Happy PPF!
I agree with kristin, I hate the smell of oils too. Love your 'she' it is going to be wonderful.
Wonderfully done artwork, Netty ~ marvelous! ~ (A Creative Harbor) ^_^
Beautiful portrait work. The eyes of your first lady are so pretty. Have fun at your class!
You are having fun. Good to see and some good work coming out of it too. HPPF.
Your portraits are coming on lovely, and it so nice that you are having fun doing your class.
Lovely Netty! Happy PPF!
Your paintings are awesome, really they are! Love the gold streaks in the hair too!
Lady at opera is lovely. Faking how? You going to have another canvas on top of this one to work on and them quick put the real one on top when the teacher happens by? Good luck with that! LOL
Busy, busy, busy all round these days but I'm glad you found time to paint too. Your Opera Lady is looking fab and very regal. She appears very lost in thought and engrossed in the music. Just lovely.
so elegant! I'm not very good at bluffing, I hope you are!!I would have done the very same, I would just keep painting, I would find it hard to stop if I was on a roll!
I'm absolutely loving your opera lady!
I love your lady at the opera. She is lovely. Have fun with the bluffing. Let us know how it works out.
beautiful ladies! Looking forward for She. And the lady at the opera looks like she is ready to sing her heart out. Enjoy your class Netty!
Love to see the progress...my fav is the lady with the red hair :)
Your work is lovely, you are very talented, I love your style
I love to see the progression in your pieces! Great work!
Lovely progress on your paintings, lovely ladies!
Wonderful work Annette! Your paintings are evolving beautifully. The lady at the opera is my fav! Thanks for showing the history of your progression. It's fun to see your work take on form and color. Have a fab weekend. ~Rhonda ♥

Your work is lovely my friend. I love seeing your progress..

I love your progress shots. I can't wait to see where it ends up x
She' coming along nicely. Love her hair, eyes and long flowing neck.
Hi Netty
Enjoying see how 'She' is progressing.... and your other piece is one of my favourites.
I agree about the days getting shorter, one because of the daylight going so early but also because there seems so much to fit in! Hope your mum is ok.

Your Opera Lady is so regal and fabulous, I really love this painting. Good luck bluffing the teacher!! I had a laugh about that one.

Your paintings are so beautiful Netty. I love the Opera Lady and also love your ladies long necks.

You are really getting stronger...love your portraits...their progression. Great Job Netty :)
Those three head studies are lovely. I like the treatment of the hair and the colour of the first one.
I love seeing the progress of pieces! Thanks for sharing!
Your lady is wonderful, she has such a great energy to her.
This is amazing how you turn her into a She. Thank you for the pictures. Do you like working with waterbased oils? Blessings, Janet PPF
