From the artist:

Would you please critique this painting? It is oil on canvas, 24x18. Thank you!

The Learning Gallery: Morgen's Portrait

Your Original
Strong Points:

When designing a painting we should think in positive space ( in this case the figure) and negative space ( the area that surrounds the figure). Your positive space is well done. Not much to say there!

Areas to Work On:

But your negative space is a dull black area. It will be more interesting if you add some interesting patterns. In my opinion a portrait painting shouldn't look like a portrait photo. I went ahead and and added some patterns. See if you like it more.


Additional comments:

Good job! Keep it up!
