While I Was At the Coffee Shop... by Inque

While I was sitting in the coffee shop today I saw this beautiful woman sitting at a table so I decided to start a painting of her. I didn't finish it because I started a conversation with two other patrons. :)

Nice so far! She does look beautiful.

@ uilleanngirl: I'm glad you like my art. This woman is extremely gorgeous in person. My painting doesn't do her justice all. Her hair is dark brunette. I don't know what color her eyes are. They're either gray or light blue. I tried not to make eye contact with her. Although, it only happened twice; briefly. I thank God for coffee shops. :)

Well, she's looking down, so her eyes don't need color. You could easily enough make her hair brown... yes, coffee shops are wonderful!! :D

@ alan pina: Thank you very much for the compliment. I'm still trying to find an artist that will allow me to use creative license to post my self portrait and keep my anonymity. I kinda like the fact that no one knows what I look like here. I'm leaning toward four artists. John Singer Sargent, Winslow Homer, Peter Kupper and, Daniel Torres. The third & fourth artists are cartoonists. I'll post something later today. :) I hope it's not too late. I read in the forum that Munin is gonna post something. It'll be great to see his portrait and to find out what artist he greatly admires. :) I'll go back to the coffee shop to see if she'll be there so I might finish this. I hope.

How come this style is totally different from your other stuff? I like this way better to be honest! Also I feel like I can learn from this style of yours.

@ draw: I was actually not satisfied with it as I was painting it so, when the opportunity to talk with another patron presented itself I did. And, I invited a second patron in on the conversation I was having with the first. After I looked at it in Colors! Draw I wished I had started it about 30 minutes earlier. I'll post more paintings using this style in the near future. The painting you did entitled, "M.a.K. SAFS Prowler "Screaming Skeleton" looks pretty sweet. It reminds me of a couple of mechs a friend of mine and I bought when we were kids. It's very nice painting. :)

@cheechoo98: Thank you very much. I took a look see at your gallery on your pro site. Honestly, you're a great artist I can learn a lot from you. Check out this link to see what I'm working on in PS. http://forum.brombra.net/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=86 I may get back into it this weekend though. I've been away from it too long. Jennyeatworld wants me to paint a Colors version for her. I will after the original gets done. The facial structure was all from imagination but, I used photo reference for the lighting.
