Well, I didn't add much for this first exchange as it came at a very bad time for me--at the beginning of a really long and distressing artist block! I think it should be easier next time; that's what I keep telling myself anyway! I like Dan's idea of less words and more art on this blog. I struggle so much to write when I'm in my art mode! And with all of the pressure (good pressure, pressure to improve) on the art, it is nice to not have to worry about writing! So, to read more about this piece, please visit my blog!
Raena, I love the body language on these two ladies. I wonder what they're saying! I think Dan's dogs know and they're staring straight at us to tell us. Seriously this lady works well and I love the paintwork on her. Great job!
ReplyDeleteSure makes you think, is it two ladies that know each other (gossip, between neighbours... "really he did...") or two ladies just happen to end up standing in the same spot by the market and one of them thinks (where do I know her from?...)
ReplyDeleteI love pictures like this, makes you think. Great work Raena, cant wait to see what Dan will come up with next.
I love the way that the styles match - not an easy thing to do, I'm sure! (And I want to know what they're talking about too!)
ReplyDeleteI think the lady in the red is suggesting to the other that she needs to tweeze her eyebrows!! LOL
ReplyDeleteMaybe its Frida Kahlo! Could be a unibrow - can't tell from here. Anyway, Raena, you did a great job - rose to the challenge and more. So now what do I do?
ReplyDeleteWow! This is great Raena! It's amazing how well you matched Dan's style. I had to study it for a while to figure out what it was you added. Great for having artist's block!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Dan and Raena!
ReplyDeleteNice work Raena.... block all gone.... this is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThis is simply the coolest thing ever! I'd love to see more more more ^^ You and Dan definitely are collaborating very well here. Different styles, and different techniques, but similar in depth! Very very interesting!
ReplyDeleteI've received the sketchbook!:) It is so exciting to get in the mail! And, Raena, let me tell you - the original is so much better even than the scan. It is so good! (So much for artist's block..pah, on that!) Nothing like original art. So I had some ideas, which seeing the original I have totally rejected - and have some different thoughts entirely, playing with the light that you portrayed so well..we will see.
ReplyDeleteI love all the folds you put in the ladies blouse and jeans. Lots of little details that add so much. Great work.
ReplyDeleteThis is so great and it's fun to wait and see what the next installment to the story is. Your styles go so well together. You should both be happy with what you are doing.
ReplyDeleteI love what you added!! I am eager for the next installment! I am new to Art Jounrals and just recently started my first. What a cool idea you two have going for your journal!!
