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

Is it better that I say nothing as oppossed to nothing? I don't think I can sum what I think of this up in a couple of lines. Except that it's beautiful and one of the best things I've seen all day.
Best thing I've painted lately was a silly ol' colour wheel.

lovely! That sure looks like a lot of hard work wnet into it ^_^
you know what would make it SPECTACULAR?
I would loooove to see some chiaroscuro added into the right side, kind of like a caravaggio-ish style.
Man, that would be fantastic.
But anyway, but itself, it is amazing! great job!

This is gorgeous. The blue is such a striking colour and her skin is shaded perfectly. You got every single little wrinkle right. This is just perfect. Absolute beauty. I'm faving this and then going to look at your gallery.

Very impressive. Is it done in the flemish underpainting technique? The blue is incredible. I wish i could see it real. Sadly Cameras cant catch the true tone of the colors -.-
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's actaully done mostly in one layer, there's a work in progress shot in my journal atm, mind you it took so long the underpainting would have been easier.
You are dead right, I'm forever frustrated with the camera letting me down after spending so long getting the colours exactly right....but at least it gives an impression I guess
