Re: Warm & Cool.

Hi Sandra, glad you like the portrait, if you put the work in you will be able to paint just as well. There are no short cuts or tricks and talent is not necessary but hard work is Good luck with your endeavours, I’m sure you will enjoy the journey Dave

Re: Warm & Cool.

An excellent portrait!

Especially interesting the integration between figure and background: the cold tones of the background give luminosity to the colors of the skin, and the presence of touches of the skin colors in the background make of the polarity figure/background an unity.
This is advanced painting structure!

Eduardo

Hi Eduardo, thanks for looking in, but you praise the painting to much, it’s just a head shot.
