Re: Portrait of Floor
Looks great, like all the paintings you posted before here.
You must have great drawing skills to get it done like that, I see no evidence of much corrections in paint.

Re: Portrait of Floor
Thank you Freesail and dustonpaper. I draw with my brush in one color before blocking in the colors. I make corrections as I go. My paint is never very thick because I'm finding it harder to correct then.
I should draw more from life though, I'm a bit lazy..

Re: Portrait of Floor
Very lovely, beautiful variation in the edges, there is a red patch on the nose that doesn't quite read, but that might be the photo.

Re: Portrait of Floor
Fantastic! Can I ask what your background is ? Who you studied with? Etc.

Re: Portrait of Floor
Very nice alla prima! How many many hours did it take, if I may ask?

Re: Portrait of Floor
Eevie, you've created a heavenly painting.
I agree with Rob--the red on the nose could be toned down a little.
Love your paintings, hope you answer Kevin's questions.
