Description Acrylic on Craft Paper

My assignment for Uni was to show a place that was special & significant to us - and this is mine. No denying that.

Self Portrait in my world.

Excuse the cliche, but you're just so supremely effing talented. I've always wished I could paint, it's so much more expressive than markers & pencils. Thanks for sharing sweetie.

love it.. great color choices; as far as a critique goes I would say that it looks a bit "flat" ... the tones and light in the fore-ground (her legs) is exactly the same as the mid-ground (the main subject)

This would not be a big deal but since you showed light/tone/color changes in her neck it gives the rest of the piece a slightly "unfininhed" look .... If you lightened the neck to match the rest of the piece it would not interfere with the style and/or overall composition.

a lovely piece

thanks very much for that. they were good points to consider..you're right about the neck, it does seem out of place now that you pointed it out.

it's still a lovely piece; the "flatness" is a definite style ... (I may have said this before, but ...) your color is spectacular, and the composition is great, I think you are just a little caught between what you want to convey and what you think you "should" be painting.

thanks. i also think because i usually paint in oils and this is really the first time i've used acrylics in an entire painting, i didn't really know how they'd go. i guess i painted with them like i would oils thinking the colours would come up with more depth than they did. hence the 'flatness'.

that is the thing that both awes and scares me about oils (and the reason I don't usually care for acrylics) ... much admiration for those such as you you actually know how to use oils! I need to get my butt in gear and practice more at it
