Excellent oil and watercolour portraits by Sue Rubira. Sue also reveals how she paints, stage for stage which is very cool. Click here for that.

| 1.5 hour painting of two female nudes ( 27x50cm ) |
Venue: The Swedish Academy of Realistic Art, 20130314.
The first attempt at capturing these two pretty female models was discarded after a half an hour. I started again and this time I was able to find my way. I am finding it so hard to succeed when doing a two hour session. I just plan to keep trying, at some stage something must go click in my head! I am happy with this painting, I masked off the red-head in the back ground as she made the centre of focus confusing in the composition. Her red hair was beautiful but too distracting.

I am taking a pause from watercolours during my Tuesday evening life drawing classes. I want to focus on developing my drawing skills. I am happy with the results, I feel relaxed when I sketch which gives me time to think about composition and execution.

Watercolour doodle
I painted this quickly last Friday during my lunch break. I want to improve my technique, so I practice as often as I can.
