I do love to paint and Medieval art is my favorite... finding opportunities to use the style in my projects is a challenge... hence the Castle will have as much painted detail as I can cram in! LOL! And yes, hands are the most difficult to draw. The medieval artists had perfected many stylized gestures... I have copied some of them in the Saints... but in the smaller figures it is hard to do... so don't look too closely!

I especially like the new sketches of the milkmaid and the sheep herders and the hunting scene!<br />As for Floralinda, she is adorable!!! Such detail! It looks like only the dogs notice her at the moment :-)<br />Big hugs!<br />Veronique Véronique https://www.blogger.com/profile/04720638085856405622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-86211664929060676862017-03-03T15:32:22.826-05:002017-03-03T15:32:22.826-05:00Happy Birthday :) sorry i am late.

(Even though my ha...Hi, Betsy - and Happy Birthday! (Even though my happy wishes are a bit belated.) Yes, you have definitely made Huge Progress on the Castle ceiling. I agree with Giac that this is a true masterpiece in color, detail, and content. I cannot believe that the faces can be so individual on such tiny figures; the eyes, especially, are very expressive. Since I know little about art, I was fascinated to find that you do the white underpainting, then follow with black outlines. What an interesting technique! <br />And the hands! I've never seen so many hands! I just read somewhere recently that the reason cartoonists put gloves on the hands of their animated characters is that the hands are so hard and time consuming to draw - so they don't! What patience and perseverance you have. Your little Floralinda is just as beautiful as her name. I'm sure she'll soon feel quite at home in your world.<br />MarjorieMarjorie Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12104669798186181705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-83704086337968647062017-03-01T11:18:47.410-05:002017-03-01T11:18:47.410-05:00A belated Happy Birthday!
