Here is the second painting that I’ve done for the Different Strokes from Different Folks blog. I’m not pleased with how this turned out, but I did enjoy painting the clothes. People are really very difficult subjects to paint well!
Thank you for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it very much! -- Faith
Thank you for visiting my blog. My name is Faith Te and I am a painter from the Philippine Islands.
On June 20, 2009, I began creating small-sized daily paintings as a way to learn more about oil paints as well as to improve speed and skill. I started this blog to record and showcase these daily oil paintings.

your right faith. people are a problem, i have drawn people quite a lot, and i measure carefully all aspects regarding featurese? but people have a view in their brain how they think the world sees them? But it shocks some people how they really look, not always as flattering as they imagined. Causes some problems sometimes. of course i would never stoop to modifying to please egos? would i ?
