This was my attempt at the challenge photo on DailyPaintworks. Before I started, I decided that I would focus on the figure only, and not try to put in any of the background details. I wanted to show how the light was hitting the man. I did this with a huge brush and about one hour, so I couldn't work it to death.
My favorite part is the legs. I didn't get the light on his shoulders right, but no going back! Onward!
Beautifully painted, Virginia! Love the background as well.!
ReplyDeleteI like the legs too. Great job, Virginia!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Virginia! The man is definitely the centre of attention . You handled the background so well. I like the light on his legs too!
ReplyDeleteIt is a good job,and the bench looks inviting, too. I really like the landscapes you've done. I know they're from a book, but that still takes work, and you do them well.
ReplyDeleteYou NAILED those legs, girl! And benches are so hard - but you did a great job!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color palette.
ReplyDeleteI think you handled the background very cleverly! A wide variety of greens, warm and cool, and shapes and shadows. The scene looks like a lovely place to be!
ReplyDeleteKudos for this. Lovely for sure.
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you Virginia. Glad to know you've studied with Carol Marine and I guess I'll be looking for one of her workshops sometime in the coming year.
