New French girl around!

Karine,

Welcome to the Forum! Variety is encouraged! Please feel free to post your "wierd" compositions! This one is intriguing and a little haunting, and it makes me want to see more of your work.

It really is amazing to be able to "meet" artists from all over the world over the internet. I think portraiture outside the U.S. has a slightly different direction and emphasis, and it's healthy to see a variety of viewpoints and styles.

Hi Karine,

Welcome from another new EU member, we're a little thin on the ground so it's great that you joined up.

That's a beautiful and very strong piece of work you've posted, in my opinion. That you've taught yourself to such a level gives me encouragement for my own work.

I too am very much looking forward to seeing some more of your work.

Welcome Karine,

Your pastel is a beautiful strong portrait. I detect a hint of Harley Brown's influence. Have you read his books? In any case we are delighted to have you on the forum.
