Description
It's pretty exciting to say I used MY OWN reference photo to paint this image!This was one of those photos I took that I knew was a bad photograph straight away. But sometimes bad photos make good paintings.
The painting started to come undone when I tried to do the water surface. The reference photo was no good for that part of the painting so I was trying to wing it, but I just couldn't get it to look good. After that I felt the painting as a whole wasn't working. I was tempted to fill the empty space to the right, but decided against it. Empty is OK.
Even though it hasn't come out how I imagined it would, the more I look at it now that it's complete, the more content I am with it
The title is lame.
I know.

Amazing that this was based on your own photo! That would have been an amazing experience! I really like the simplicity of it too. It doesnβt look empty, more that it draws your eye to the shape and detail of the orca. Especially like the lighting on its right side.
