I'm very happy with 'Jackie' now that I have completed her. I've strengthened some of the dark values in the skin tones and changed some of the surrounding area to a cooler hue. I dislike calling it the 'background' as that makes it sound less important and it's not! I like the way she is looking out of the canvas at the audience, as if she is scrutinising us as much as we her!

ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed the progress steps very much.
Yep, portraits are very challenging. Get something a little wrong and it through s it all off. She looks like she's pondering about something.
