Description
Master study of "Etude" by Elizabeth Nourse. Did this especially to learn more about skin tone color and how to do proper painterly texture. I feel I still have a long way to go, but I'm happy with the result.

Thank you! I am so glad you noticed it because I spent most time on trying to get it right!

Excellent study, the edge qualities fool the eye very well into believing it to be a natural media painting (oil or acrylic). Β As an interesting note, I recently noticed that a LOT of natural media painters do everything in their power to remove brush strokes and texture from their work, which I find rather amusing. Β Here we are in digital trying to get grit into our work to make it look more natural, and oil, acrylic, and gouache painters everywhere are trying to make sure absolutely nothing is left in their work so it will look super smooth.

Thank you! <3 Haha yeah, it's actually what annoys me a bit with digital art, sometimes it looks waaaaay too clean. I don't like it.

I totally agree with the unique appeal of certain styles, I like the look of brush strokes and texture in my work. Β In fact, if it's too uniform (like high quality linen or canvas), I find the texture to be somewhat distracting sometimes. Β So many factors for each individual in deciding what they like or do not like, I happened to figure it out over the past few years, but like all things it is likely to change in time. Β

You tricked me! I thought it was an oil painting until I looked closer. I'm not upset. I'm very impressed!! You are studying the masters now, but I predict you will be one yourself. I look forward to seeing more from you.
