Description
Oil on canvas, 120 cm X 90cm. Aprox. 100 hours.Portrait of Karen, this was going to be my entry in the trad art day contest, but I just didn't get it finished in time try as I might.
The blue took me FOREVER. ugh.
Photo a bit grainy, but you get that I guess.
Will put a WIP slideshow up at some point, wee bit tired right now.
a DD! hooray! Much love and thanks to sbaraci and stigmatattoo
Also to Karen for modeling, inspiration, putting up with my bitching about painting blue for 2 weeks, and feeding and watering me during the project.
Oh and also for being by my side through the good and bads

Just had a look at your stuff, I'm sure you will kick my butt I didn't even start drawing till I was 26 and at 18(?) some of your stuff is looking good already, so you've got a big head start on me.

Haha thanks for the encouragement! I'm stressing out because of college art portfolios. Maybe you could help me with some creative ideas?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
My creative ideas are based around making art about stuff you know and feel passionate about, so I just paint women I know.
2 things I'd add is 1. any suject can be a great artwork as long as you're inspired by it. I once saw a great show of paintings of really boring cars (not old not new not interesting in anyway) parked on the side of the road. The paintings were great however.
2. don't be afraid of things you think are completly typical and everyone does as long as you feel passionatly about it, doesn't matter.
Good luck and yeah hope that helped
