Tonight I present a portrait of the actress Christine Carre. I don't recall anything about her, having downloaded the photo a few years ago. Two of the big mistakes, first I think there is something wrong with her right eye, I think the gap between them is too large. The second I was in a rush and messed up the right sleeve, the bare arm should have appeared below. Paper: New York Central, 140 lbs, hot pressed, 15 x 22"
Today I present a portrait of Catherine Denueve, a French actress. I could have positioned her head about an inch higher. Paper: New York Central, 140 lbs, hot pressed, 11 x 15"
Today I post from an old photo titled "Girls from between the 1900s to 1910s". Which I saw from a photo blog that has photos of random subjects. One day, it could be cars or old photos of cities, the next people of the 1920s to crazy patent ideas. Link below:

Today I post another colorized John Singer Sargent charcoal portrait of Caroline Aster Philips from 1911. I'm pleased how the New York Central paper and Lukas paints have been performing. Also, I think I did a better job positioning/centering of the image and the scale. Paper: New York Central, 140 lbs, hot pressed, 15 x 22"
Tonight I present to you all a portrait of Maharani Gayatri Devi in Indian princess from the 1950s-ish. It is from a B&W photograph in the color style I have been using lately. I'm happy with it, especially how the Lukas watercolor paint has been performing. It disperses well and lays down in a smooth flat. And the way the hair turned out, I will be trying more of that in the future.

Tonight I present another one of those colorized John Singer Sargent charcoal drawing of Lady Norah Brassey from 1925. Her left eye is obviously low. I missed that one. Paper: New York Central, 140 lbs, hot pressed, 15 x 22"
