Description
This is a first for me.Going back and redoing and existing painting. Eep!
OK first of all for those who haven't this is the first attempt.
--->[link]
Based an image [link] the beautiful and talented was kind enough to let me paint.
So why do it again? A number of reasons.
First of all after having so much fun with the dark background in pastels, I thought I'd see what difference it made wiht oils. So I could tell what difference it made more easily, I used an image I'd done before to compare.
Secondly I allways thought it would look better round this way. I'm not sure if it really does, but there you go.

I had to readd this since I changed my account. It's still very lovely, the red especially.

The shadows, highlights and colors are wonderful. I absolutely adore the blood-red sheets, and that they go around her head this way. Great job on the way the color of the sheets reflects on her skin. Very nice work.

Beautiful contrast between the skin and the dark red!

thank you. I'm really happy with the skin tones in this one, bit of a break through for me

I would have a hard time suggestion to anyone to go back and redo, but you did it with skill! (possibly ease seeing how talented you are) I really like her skin tone (shades and highlights bring out accurate shapes) and the couple strands of hair peeking out. The clothe looks like a photo

It really wasn't with ease I assure you, sadly my talents fall short of my ambitions most of the time, and I just have to sweat it out for weeks
My skillz are improving though I think

first I thought it was oil
I 'm very bad with pastels
probably like you with watercolors or worse xD
I'm very fond of painting bodies so I realy admire your work.

Thank you. That one actaully is an oil, but you are far from the first person to think it was a pastel, which I'm happy with I think.

lmao....
As I am viewing this, in the background comign from the TV I hear "Halleujah! Halleujah!"
Mind you, I have been drinking Gin and such but i must say, the song said it all!
Brilliant work- i especially love the elbows. SO soft and delicate and her skin looks so milky.

I think it hindsite it was a vaild excise...got very very boring half way through however I tell you
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Of course. Repeating is boring

Everyone does. That's why anything new is mostly always welcome, no?

Hmm NO idea what I was talking about....but hihihihi

well, i have to admit, the first one was a bit more vibrant and had more life to it. On the other hand, this verson is much smoother/softer and more realistic/ life-like.
Amazing Job!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well yeah I agree completly.
The first one was done in a burning flash of inspiration, the second with lots of hindsite, cool and calculated, very well planned.
I think its personal preference which is better, good example of how different the same image can be

beautiful work, as always. I really appreciate the slide show. It's such a treat to be able to see the work in progress.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well thanks, the slide show took a bit longer then I thought it might ot put together..but you get that.
I'm amazed how different the 2 paintings are considering while working on it I really thought it was looking very much the same.
Starting on brown really helps keep it all cool.
