JayEhl Report post Posted January 13, 2021 Never tried but i think portraits are the most difficult to make. You pulled it off, though. This is one of my goals this year, that is, to do some portrait kind of artwork. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stetson912 Report post Posted January 13, 2021 Annie libertini has a great portrait carving series at elktracks studio. Its a little pricy for all 5 but, it is worth it in my opinion. Just a thought for you. Thanks for the kind words Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JayEhl Report post Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) Funny you should mention this. My oldest daughter bought a one hour virtual session with Ms. Libertini as Christmas gift. An hour isn't very long and it will go by fast so I was thinking of what I should do with the time. I knew she did lots of painting (one of my many weak points) but maybe I'll ask for some basic tips about portrait work, too! ~Thanks!
