About a year ago, I asked :iconelaihr: if I could paint her, and today I finally got around to it. Unfortunately, she doesn't hang around DeviantArt much anymore, so I don't know whether she'll get to see the finished work - she's even removed all of her deviations. :(
Anyway, today was a teaching day and I taught Stella a bit about painting monochrome portraits. She painted Brad Pitt and I painted the lovely Elaihr. This is watercolour, 9" by 12" - another of my series of portraits of fellow DeviantArt members. ^_^

Hello, I'm Isis
this water-colour painting is fantastic; the yellow blue monochromatic colour-scheme's excellent, and I love the fact that is portrait is not in a face-on school photo position. This is in Very good taste. Its unfortunate this artist removed all her pieces:(, was Elaihr a good artist? At least she has a great pose.

I was kind of wondering if you could critique this painting I did, it was a final project for art class, called 'Inuendo' with acrylic on canvus. It will be very appreciated if you can:)

Very beautiful! I sure hope she gets to see the finished product! How lovely to have your image painted by such a wonderful artist!

Thank you! ^^ She sent me a note a few weeks ago saying how much she liked it, and that really felt good. I'd wanted to paint her for a long time but I think I was a little intimidated by the masses of blonde hair - blonde hair is pretty hard in watercolour. :)

Lol, I bet! But, I don't think anything is beyond your reach!

I think flowers are beyond my reach. Seems like every schlub in the world can paint flowers but me. :D
