I loved this canvas, it was a portrait linen from New Traditions. I really tried to push myself to paint thicker than I usually do. I made the base color of the skin thicker, and it was nice to work into. I want to push a transition in the background colors in my next paintings.
Her skin is beautifully warm. I love the touches of blues in her skin and hair. Every time I visit your blog I am very impressed with your portraits!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda. I am really trying to see the cool colors in the dark lights and the value planes turn towards the shadows. I think this is the most difficult thing for me in painting.
