| I am here I am posting all 3 recent shots to allow you, hopefully, to get an idea of the actual colors. it's frustrating - not only are the thin glazes impossible to pick up on camera, but also the lighting makes getting a realistic photo very hard. That is what inspires the quote - I wish you could see the painting as I do. I think she still needs more depth around the eyes and mouth, and I am undecided whether to put just a hint of her t-shirt [pink, of course] in the painting. I had originally thought to put a soft, light background of yellows and greens, suggestive of leaves, but that would alter the entire color balance of the painting. I realize it sounds like I am obsessing a bit here, but I am out of paper - waiting for a shipment from the States. So I don't have any other painting to work on. Thank you for dropping by! Your comments are always welcome. |
Its so amazing what you can do with your paint brush,,,, We like to see you play.. Each step of playing adds more character. We love to watch the transformation as you add a little here and a little there...
ReplyDeletebut we really like each individual one of them.. We know you have a goal in mind of having only one,,, but we like them all!
Keep playing

I know how frustrating it could be not getting the right photo...but it looks beautiful so far Kathryn!
ReplyDeleteWhen you start adding color to the teeshirt it will look amazing. Hope you received your art supplies by now!!
Looking good! I don't think you are 'obsessing a bit', just sharing your thought processes out loud! Well, I guess waiting for the art supplies shipment will have you focus on this wonderful portrait! Carry on!
ReplyDeleteWow, she looks great! I know the frustrations of getting a photo to look like the real painting. :( I think pink is the perfect color for her t-shirt!
ReplyDeleteIt's not only how the camera sees color, but also the computer. I intend to pursue the solution to that problem. --As for the painting, the head with nothing in the background and attracted to no body is interesting enough. It has a Carvaggio quality to it as you have it. I don't say not to develop it further; I say proceed carefully. Finish is very close.
ReplyDeleteWe love her red hair and striking blue eyes!
ReplyDeleteHer pink teashirt would look great against some green backgrounds... and yes, a few shadows across her face and you'll be about there! Lovely! :0)
