Wow. Again such beautiful work. Her face has so much time-worn character. The detail as always is just amazing. The way you got that printed wrap she is wearing with the folds is amazing to me. It has scared me away from painting something with just such a pattern. Love the color harmony.
@GTO,....oh you skin yourself alive that's how. this is so old. if I were to do this again now, I would have done it in such a different way. it would have taken a fraction of the time. most of these are my transitions from naturalism to realism; from silly details to the main idea while still narrating the entire story at the same time. if you beat me with a stick today my hand wouldn't be able to redo this in that way at all. its just not in me anymore. I'd like to think I would turn it much livelier now.
well,. because the damn thing took so long it naturally kept on drying on me so even though i wanted to go wet on wet it wasn't always the case. that is why i'm say this time around i would have done it all wet on wet. yeah, this piece of crap is all torturous buildup over torturous buildup.
