                Thanks ciarrai :D

                There I go…

                So, not forgetting this is the figure forum, I finally started to work the figure :)…
                At the beggining I had the idea of doing this one very figurative, but I like how it is unfolding on this style, I think to keep it…
                I’m using a yellow ochre base plus some permanent alzarin crimson, deep red cadmium, and a little bit (really little) of thalo blue and green (I don’t have the name in english but in spanish is “laca esmeralda” green)… I add white to get lights and thalo blue + burnt sienna to get some shadows, there’s a lot of green on the resulting shadows because of the mix yellow ochre + thalo blue and I like them, they’re also the result of a non direct influence from the surrounding background… So far I have the torso worked with this new oil coat…

                Regards…

                            Totally beautiful!

                            The question is not "can you paint", the question is "do you have paintings in you?"

                                    There I go…

                                    After a busy week I finally had some time to continue this work…
                                    Second oil coat, skin, applied on the arms and head…
                                    I felt some lost of rythim because of the time I left this paint I guess…
                                    Right hand that I fear, right hand that I fear, there is this problem I have, there is no model anymore, she just modeled the reference drawing, there’s no reference photograph so, when I have doubt about a detail or part of the body I have to use my imagination, you can see it on the right hand…

                                    I’m a fan of strong colors, alive colors, so I decided to use some oranges on the skin…

                                    More crazy thoughts coming to my mind…

                                    Regards…

                                        Coming along nicely :) , I really like the golden color on her left forearm, the left hand bothers me a little as it looks a little skeletal. The oranges on the body are nice, but I’d like to see that gold color flowing along with the orange some more! :)

                                        Just a thought…

                                            Irene,
                                            thanks for looking and commenting, agree on your comments on the hand… look up the little change I made…

                                            There I go…

                                            Continuing with the figure I worked her hair and several details around the body, some more strong colors over here and there, influences, I would like to have this figure almos finished before entering the other figure…

                                            Regards…

                                            Some might say surreal but, it looks more dream-like to me, great work so far……can’t wait to see the next step

                                                Hello D_Sweet, thanks for looking and commenting, somehow the dream-like looking is part of the idea :)

                                                There I go…

                                                Started with the white figure, not pleased at all with how some parts of that figure turned out but I’ve got some ideas, I’m talking about the white head, it’s a too strong undesired focal point, I nedd to let the oil coat rest a bit before continuing there…

                                                Regards…

                                                    There I go…

                                                    It’s getting pretty near the end at last…
                                                    I didn’t want to, but as usual it happened… I printed my work line, it wasn’t planned but… well, just get crazy sometimes :)
                                                    The white figure is still strong, although I like it better than the previous one I had, maybe just needs some little yellows influences from the moon over those face’s whites…
