You don't need luck. I know you well enough to know you'll produce an astonishing result, even though it's a new medium for you.

Thank you for encouragement dear Mike, but I’ve never been struggling this much…
I bet I know what to do, how to do ~ but when I’m trying go for it…
lol
Things happening, and not necessarily the way I want
I’ll post updates for sure

I used to be mean to my dear sis, in good way obviously like elder brothers do (I hope I’m not alone?!)
I was curious of her reaction, because she could take it offensive if on bad mood?
She has laughed it off hopefully
I was counting on her good sense of humour

No, you're not alone. I've no doubt I was as mean to my younger sister Jill.

And her to me, now I think of it....

I’m being mean to many friends ~ in good way, I mean I’m trying to be funny while making such a half way funny comments ~ if that’s making sense
People that knows me, know it well I’m not rude, but friendly manner

Be careful Artur! I’m an older sister as well as a younger sister. I learned how to defend myself when I was very young! I would have laughed this off too, but with an eye to a little playful revenge, if you know what I mean

Good luck with the new project! I love it already!!

Of course you're not. And we make allowances for English being your second language... or third maybe?

To be honest, when I see written Polish, I have to think where the heck do I start with that??!!! So I think your English is bordering on excellent.

I can even detect a resemblance between you and your sister.

Awwww
I’m sure my sis can defend herself as good as I can be mean ~ I’d call it an equal skill
lol

It is my second language to be honest ~ second because I can use it nearly fluently in speaking and writing ~ obviously affected with grammar errors


I was learning many years ru…n (hate them because of Ukraine, so I won’t put it down in full word, they don’t deserve it anymore) language at school ~ as we all were forced to!!!
But I never did care to master it ~ I just had tried to get through another class if you know I mean…
I still remember some words and sentences, still can read ~ I can’t forget it unfortunately …
Because of above it used to be my second language, but after so many years of not practicing it, I barely can communicate ~ if that happens, I’m blending words I remember to my English

You’ve made me check the meaning of RESEMBLANCE
I didn’t know what that means ~ so you might want to swallow your compliment back dear Mike regarding my English

I’m off today, so I was enjoying painting my … (skip it Laurene ) sister
So here it is ~ promised update.

To be honest I didn’t know how to begin with…
I’ve never did any portrait yet.
Some time ago I have tried to have a go with self portrait though…
I’ve done the hat / glasses and the beard ~ and badly ruined the skin tone attempt !

So this time I was really worried, that it can end up in the bin too …
But hey ~ I can’t avoid making portraits!
Many people demanding it.

So I started ! ~ being very confused what and how?

It took me a great time to get this far, as I was trying not to ruin it at a first go…
I’m still unsure whether the effect is matching what I wanted or not, but definitely it’s acceptable for me.
I was focusing to get that textured old skin effect …
So tomorrow I’ll be carry on
