Linda E. (so many Linda's), thank you for commenting so generously. I certainly wish I was a better oil painter. It seems to me with your talent that you can approach your pastels like you do oils and have great success. With pastel the differece is that your fingers become part of the brush. It's a real mess.
Linda B., I have no doubt you can do better than this but thank you very much. Aren't those sari's something? The oil I am painting has this girl in a red one as well! Too funny. It has gold threading throughout and leaves of deep teal and lavender. It looks like Fall and is so rich in color. It's quite a challenge to say the least. I wonder how you get these things on (not that I would try it). I think I would get stuck. They don't seem flattering for the larger figure type category I fit into anyway. Furthermore, do you know how heavy some of them are? I saw this woman's wedding sari and it was made of the heaviest fabric, almost like upholstery fabric. It's a wonder she didn't pass out wearing it. It had to have weighed 20 pounds at least and the wrap part (a technical term-lol) went on forever.
I look forward to seeing your background sari pattern. Thank you for a very thoughtful and encouraging response. I admire your work so much.
