Thank you, this is what i love about painting directly from life. No photograph to get in the way of realism!

The rough brushstrokes and contrast make it expressive. Really good work

I like it, nice style, you got down the technique right, doesen't give me any wow feel, if you ask me, but that is only, if you ask XD
maybe if it was all equally detailed, like the hands and jeans area, it would give a more virtuoso impression

Thanks! yeah, it's somewhat inconsistent. Not to make excuses or anything, but this photo is pretty small, and the textures are easier to see in person. The paint is pretty thick

this is neat but is the top of the head gone in the real painting or just the shot/scan?

SaspisiusMonster In reply to Jane-doe123 [2010-02-19 22:39:29 +0000 UTC]
It's gone on purpose. I'm playing with uncomfortable compositions- the painting before this in the series had an extended neck and a purposely cut off head to make it seem like a mistake.
