@Valérie Van Kraaij actually I chose them on purpose and decided against realistic grey or beige. I wanted something more pop-arty.

🎨 OPEN ROOM — LET PEOPLE KNOW WHEN YOUR IN🤞
Not a class. Not a workshop. Just the feeling of not creating alone. ❤️ Pop in anytime to paint, draw, sketch or create. Someone may be there, or maybe not — and that’s totally okay! 😊 But if you go in, let people know you’re there! It makes it easier for others to join you. 🎨 Decided last minute to go in? Drop a comment below and let everyone know you’re heading in. ⬇️ If you know what time you’ll be there until, even better — but it’s absolutely not mandatory. 🕐 Know in advance when you’ll be in? Add your times in the comments below, and please include the time for your country so others can easily see when that is for them. For example: 🇫🇷 Paris — 10:00–12:00 🇬🇧 UK — 09:00–11:00 🇺🇸 New York — 04:00–06:00 🇺🇸 Los Angeles — 01:00–03:00 🇨🇦 Toronto — 04:00–06:00 🇦🇺 Sydney — 18:00–20:00 No agenda. No pressure. No need to be “productive.” Just artists creating together. ❤️ Last but not least… ☕🎨 We also have our Coffee & Art on Tuesday from 18:30–19:30 Paris time. ❤️ Make sure you join the right call! 😊 The Open Studio is also open at the same time, so there will be two different calls running simultaneously. ☕ Coffee & Art: Tuesday, 18:30–19:30 🎨 Open Studio: open as usual So if you’re coming for Coffee & Art, double-check that you’re clicking the Coffee & Art call. 😉 Can’t wait to see you there! ❤️

Would love to, but got a Chiropractor appointment and then I am meeting a friend to paint with. Is it possible for her to join the community? She is Canadian/Maltese living in Germany.

Here is my development update of my husband's portrait. I think I am nearing completion. Update to the update, finished.

@Valérie Van Kraaij oh I am blushing. Thank you so much. To be fair, I occasionally see him around the house 😆. And I do look at various pics when I need a specific detail I am struggling with. But I always notice that I am not great with copying, so I really find it easier to go by feeling. I tried really hard to capture him, his personality. His little faint smile. It's not perfect (what is?), but I am pleased with the result. For a first ever proper human portrait, it is pretty decent. But thank you! It feels really good to get such lovely feedback. Just been having one of the worst weeks, losing my wonderful new job to - once again - redundancy. Painting this saved me from falling into that black hole. As did my husband's support.
