        Hi folks!
        I have rarely posted anything here. In fact, I rarely finish anything, due to my impatience, often using oils and then losing inspiration, or just being plain too busy. I was also tired of trying to imitate nature too much, so lately I have been sketching from imagination a bit more, and being inspired from old book illustrations etc. Yesterday I thought that I should give that board that I prepped with a grey casein ground a try. I just started drawing on the board, mostly free fantasy, but the pose is loosely based on a model reference book. I then went over the drawing with a casein wash (to “fix” it), and the rest is done in gouache.

        So, it’s gouache on wood (casein ground). Not sure if it is 100% finished (maybe I will fix the hair a bit, and the water), but I doubt I will do much more.

            Fantastic, I could see calling it done, no shame in that, it’s very well handed overall, I really like the strong pattern of light and dark on the figure. The dreamlike quality and graphic appeal of the rest is quite good too. Good work, maybe this is an approach you could do more frequently, the results seem good to me.

                The only thing I would work a tiny bit more would be the shaded side of the moon. It could be a bit more homogeneous

Damm these internet newcomers being nice to to others!!!"

                    Right you are. I was unsure how to do it, so maybe I should have looked at some photos :)

                                    Thanks again for the feedback. Finally had the time to paint again. Here’s another one that is almost finished. Sorry, not a great photo.

                                    That one is already looking better. THe environment and atmosphere are better suited for the strong blocky shadow approach you use.

                                    The color combination is better as well.
