Re: Smiling

The most beautiful part of a woman is her smile, and the most powerful. Thanks for the play, painted in Photosketch and then in Impressionist.

Re: Smiling

Thanks for letting us play with the pretty lady Peter!

Cleaned her up a bit in the first version then applied a couple sketches over a fake smudge in the second version

Re: Smiling

Nice image Peter. I agree, I also liked the smile but the hair bothered me . . . so I changed it. Nice entries by all.

Re: Smiling

Palms I really like your colored sketch.
Really enjoyed painting this one Peter! Thank you!
There are some nice works in this thread!!

Click HERE for full size version 1.

I decided to tone down the yellow a bit, so I have added that version as well.
