WIP- Royal Portrait Image by Jennie (c). I have brought up the textiles in further glazing and started on some of the details. I am still not happy with the faces. while the fabrics are beginning to look good, or at least showing a good progression, the faces look flat and dull. not nearly enough…
Currently untitled Image by Jennie (c). Phew! the good thing about my new iPod is that I am finally able to work at night again. I think my best work comes out at night for some reason, I am more inspired and more in tune with my creative forces.. or something like that. I need…
Yours truly was invited to participate in a group show and will be exhibiting at Artholes gallery from the 7th of July for two weeks!… Redhead is huge and will be the focus with all the other works being small and square…. I am working on two series of paintings and the two sets of portraits for the SCA as well.
Running Image by Jennie (c). Another in this series of impasto pieces. I am really liking this technique. I have to be extremely fast with the knife and will usually go through the image several times before I get it right. I drew a similarity to chinese calligraphy in my head the other night because…

I also started picking up the small details like the…
WIP -Royal Portrait Image by Jennie (c). I’m a little behind with documenting this as I have a cold but anyway, I softened the queens face, changed her eyes and altered her mouth to try to capture more of her character. she is still a looooong way off. I think I am beginning to get…
Reaching Image by Jennie (c). I decided to take a break from my serious royal piece. I had gone out on Friday and purchased some sexy new canvasses just crying out for creation. on the car ride back this image came to mind and it excited me so much I could barely wait to unwrap…
WIP -Royal Portrait Image by Jennie (c). Worked almost entirely on the queen yesterday (and a bit on the background but it’s still really boring- I’m doing royal purple curtains. it’s a really bad photo too as I am having some difficulties with the Melbourne light in my studio – My camera doesn’t handle low…
Royal Portrait – WIP Image by Jennie (c). This is starting to come along, I worked yesterday on adding character and features to the faces – they are starting to evolve into people. I am still a long way off and the work on the queens face is still plaguing me, she doesn’t look like…
WIP – Composition Image by Jennie (c). This is the composition drafted up on the primed board. I used a thirds composition technique to ensure the subjects were squared up properly and well proportioned. I am really happy with the layout, there are some nice diagonals in the hands and arms and a tight cohesiveness…
