[Alfy]

You have some beautiful stuff here... kind of makes me want to get back into traditional mediums Anyway, keep it up

[meticulous]

First of all - inspiring work! - you've got an amazing gift!
Second - I saw the picture of you painting (this last painting)... The painting is so small! How in the heck did you paint the eyes, nostrils, etc without going blind! How tiny are those brushes? I just am in awe of this! I was already impressed with your gifts, but to do it that small??? Holy crap! My hats off to you!

[hunchback]

k wow this is impressive, the last one has very nice tones and is realistic, elegant. I paint in oil for four years, this is mastery. keep softening those edges

[sinneart]

Absolutely stunning work, Emily. Thank you for sharing.

[juczpen]

[Visionspring]

Hi Emily! It was wonderful to meet you the other day, and your sketchbook is truly amazing and inspirational Thanks for showing us one of your paintings, that totally made my day! I was walking on clouds after viewing it

[Rod28Pereira]

This is what I'm think about real talent people, is soooo good, that nobody can deny your talent like MindCAndyMAn said.
And one thing that realartist need to have besides passion for the art, is patience, and you have this a lot,this is why I think you reached that level of art so good.

You need have pride of yourself and keep going,alwyas trying to reach a next level of art.

Congrats girl, and please keep posting,for inspire us.

Cheers,

Rod.

Hey Emily!

It was nice to meet you before the workshop, yay for Mt. Victoria! I can't wait to go on that swing again. Seeing your painting in person was even more humbling than it was online. Thank you for taking it to New Zealand!

[Kasper_P]

It's sort of like hand coloring a black and white photograph.
The intention is to create a luminous look.

And it really does! That was one of the first things I noticed.. Very cool!

Hi guys, I have a few pics for you.

This is a peek at the painting I am currently working on. It is much bigger than the last one!



The surface I am working on is from www.newtraditionsartpanels.com
They do an awesome job on their panels. The one I have is very fine linen mounted on thick foam core.

Bill designed an easel attachment for me and I helped him put it together.
I have overlaid red over the part that is the attachment.



The purpose of the attachment is to bring the painting closer to me and allow room for my legs underneath. The crossbars extending upwards are to accommodate larger paintings.

The easel is an older English design that Bill ordered from the UK many years ago. It is a double-sided easel, so you can work from either side. The part that sticks out from the back is where you can put another painting and the angle can be adjusted.

Amazing! *__*

[kidult]

Super awesome paint! Your studio is so clean....no paint splashes on the floor (it looks good enough to eat off) and not a drop of paint on you....I get paint on me in the 1st 5 secs....just found a spot of paint on me now...
Keep up the good work and dont be so skimpy on the updates would love to see some steps in between!

[egerie]

Good for you Emily! This is awesome and very inspiring. Btw, I have the same chair... :o

[Kasper_P]

Wow the easel is very cool. I've never seen such a big one before, except in museums.. I hope it's comfortable to sit at (:

The 11th commandment: Thou shall not covet thy neighbours easel.

I'm still a sinner I guess

Wonderfull update.

[Max Challie]

Your new painting looks like it's come a long way already! Did you start on it before leaving to NZ?

I agree with GorillaArtfare, that studio looks cozy. Really comfortable. It could have something to do with the colour choices for the walls. Is it really warm inside?

[D@niel]

Ohh I am salivating in anticipation!! Cool pallet collection

[Blue Severin]

Hey Emily, heh that's a cool set up. I wish I had been in New Zealand to see your other portrait in person. Beautiful work on the new one as well!

[Victor B]
