We have a new Portrait Challenge for you all!
Here are some reference photos of Nicole, from various angles, in her wonderful wood nymph costume!
We look forward to seeing some wonderful portraits on here — please don’t be shy!
Any medium, and WIPs (Work In Progress) shots are always very welcome.
Let the Challenge begin!

PS Critiques always welcome but no plaudits or emoting, please don’t press the like button.November 6, 2014 at 10:14 am #527580Netty and Dave — Glad you like the photos.
Yes, I think we’d be smart to extend this challenge up into the new year, as the annual portrait swap — and the holiday season — keeps a lot of people busy during November and December.
Cheers, Lauren

Any chance of getting some high-res photos as well please Lauren?Lulu — I’m not sure where I can post them here.
(any suggestions, Mods?) :confused:
You can PM me your email address, let me know which photos you like best, and I can email you larger versions. I think the original files are 1 to 2 MB.

-Adam RiceNovember 9, 2014 at 4:11 am #527598Great pictures Lauren. I wanted to get some portrait practice before attempting the swap portrait. so gave this one a shot.
Oil on 9×12 linen. C&C welcome.
I think her left eye is too big and I might rework it.
C & C always welcome!

BhavaniNovember 9, 2014 at 8:39 pm #527582Nice work, Bhavani! :thumbsup:
Really nice palette, there!
I think that your skin tones are working best in the face.If you want some C & C: Warming up the shoulders a bit to match more is something I’d recommend, and also do something about that yellowish area in the neck.
Thanks for jumping in and getting things going!
Cheers, Lauren

C & C always welcome!

Though your shot of your drawing is kind of fuzzy, the eyes look nice and bright!
