Hello Yo, a fantastic result, but I didn't expect anything less from you. :-) The only problem, as with all of us, is finding the right time to stop. But you work at it your whole life. Again, thank you for this simply great result. I am proud !! :-)
Thank you, Torsten, it's a good thing I didn't know what you were expecting :-)
I am very pleased that you are (rightly) proud of your teaching success - that in turn makes me proud!
How nice that I can show that your course enables even a landscape painter with no portrait experience to get a "relaxed", easy-going oil painting - such a change of subject often reveals one's own inability.
I actually always have the problem with not being able to stop, but it became even clearer to me when painting portraits than outside - so it's a really good exercise for me. I would like to stay tuned to the topic - and I'm happy (also about critical) feedback.
I'm thrilled at how beautiful your eyes turned out in the project picture, great! I failed at that 😄. I'm also very familiar with your point about not being able to stop, I'm worried about making things worse and even more so with the oil portrait.

Thank you very much, Kerstin, I’m glad!
I was completely surprised at how well it worked, as it was my first portrait painting (I've been painting a lot for a long time, but I'd never dared to take on heads.)
It really helped me, as Torsten explained, that you don't paint what you know, but only what you see. So no eye paints, but only the colors that you see: this then creates an eye.
I think your final project is very nice, even if it's still a bit hesitant: I think you could be more courageous 😉
