Maedhros

[bunn]

Practicing silk and colouring and a face.  Beginning to get near to my idea of what Maedhros might look like?  Maybe.

I still have this sodding cold.  I am sick of coughing and feeling exhausted.  Dragged self along to art class today, but kind of regretted it.  Still, I got this painting finished, and that's an achievement.

Wow! I love the colors.

I hope you feel better soon.

Its lovely!

You are becoming really good at this.

I remember the first paintings you did and there is such a marked difference between then and now.

Get well soon.

I so love his happy face! There is not enough happy Maedhros in the world. I really like the sheen on his tunic, too. And those sleeves!

Get well soon!

The silk rendering is amaaaaaaaaaaaazing.

Lovely! What gorgeous eyes he's got. And I love the glowy eight-pointed star he's wearing!

Wow, great colors! The silk looks lovely. (I think luminescent is the word I'm looking for, but it's been a long day.)

Hope you feel better soon! (If that cough goes on too long, check in with a doctor to make sure it's not stealth pneumonia.)

Thanks!

Probably not the first! But it has only been the last couple years I've really been working on improving my skills, I'm glad you think it's paid off.

I so agree. More happy Feanorians, to contrast with the tragedy!

[bunn]

Colin the Art reckons that the key thing with silk is lots and lots of contrast. It seems to have worked!

With RAYS :-P

I love that brilliant colour you get from Windsor Blue. It makes a nice green if you mix it, too...

Yes, I shall take your pneumonia as an Awful Warning!

... speaking of which, is it clearing up??

[grundyscribbling]

Fingers crossed it is indeed clearing up!

Sorry to hear you're still struggling with that cold!

I'm still coughing, too. It makes me very tired...

I like Maedhros's face, you've made it come alive, and, yes, he feels a bit like how you write him.

I like the painting. Hope you soon feel better.

Thanks!

It's so tedious, all this coughing! And you just know it's making itself worse, and yet it's so hard to stop...

Someone in my art class said the expression was 'beautiful yet determined, you wouldn't want to cross him' which I was privately very delighted by since that was with no context at all.

I like the painting. Maedhros looks as though he's about to speak, and his silk shirt is very pretty.

I hope your cold leaves you soon.

Thank you! I hadn't painted silk before so I was quite pleased how it came out

I like his eyes, they're very expressive and his half smile.

I hope you are better now
