Which One?


Sorry for my delay on posting, but I've been working like hell lately. This is a pencil study for an e-Magazine illustration. It will be painted in oils, hopefully until Friday, because that's my deadline. What.. did I say Friday?? Oh my.... Gotta run! (Thanks Mariana!!)

Ohhh, it's so sweet!
It came out great Master!
You're going to paint your ass off this week, but I know you'll make it! It's really hard to make the food look believable, but you did it! The cake looks really yummy...
And, by the way, I'll hang on to that super hero sketch I told you about....hauahauhauhauha
Kissseesss

Man it's great, Ricardo. Can't wait for oil-version (even though i just finished a diet, hope the sweeties doesn't look too yummy)
And you remember me in working on canvas: I will start right now (but with acryl). Perhaps i'm ready on friday too.
Good luck and success with your Painting. Greetings

I would love to see it done.. I had my first oil aproximation the last week.. and I hated it.. haha.. I know you will do an amazing job with this ladie..

My Friends!!
Thank you so much for your comments and support.

Pedro: Thanks man. I love to do pencil drawings!!

Carol: You are absolutely right about what you said about my week, and I also think drawing/painting food is really tough. Let's see what comes out.

Jörn: I'll think about a diet version of this picture specially for you. Man, I'm so lousy with acrylics.. They dry too fast to me.. Best luck to you my friend!!

Sylv1k: Thanks. I hope I can make it on time!! And about your blog, the pleasure is mine!!

MARIANA!!: Thank you so very much for being my model. Thank you for your words and you're right. Where would I find a model so stylish like you?? You're UNIQUE!!

Bog: The first time I painted in oils I tought that I'd never paint again because everything went so wrong dude. Stick to it. You're a great artist and I'm sure you'll master it in very few attempts. Thanks for your words my friend!!

Saludos de Ecuador..

Nice drawing, and I hope you meet the deadline! But please help in something that I don't understand - how do you present the still wet painting to a client? or do you use fast drying mediums while you paint?
I'll be keeping an eye on your work!

Ricardo Guimaraes said...

Hey Gringo!! Thanks!! I also hope I meet the deadline (this will be a loooong night!! haha). In this case, Gringo, since this is an eletronic Magazine all I have to do is to take a very good picture of the painting, and send via e-mail as a High Resolution image (usually tiff or eps, but in some cases jpeg are acceptable). But I always use Liquin from winsor & Newton (alkyd resin) that dries the painting in about four to five hours (and it is much safer than cobalt drier). Hope this helps, dude!!
