Light and Shadows
I painted sort of a dark and mysterious portrait of a friend. I’m pretty pleased with it, but the composition is a little off in my opinion. It was a good first study of a shadowy figure and I think I’ll get better at it as I continue to practice. My favorite part of this piece is the rendering of her hands. For me the key is just drawing from my favorite parts of a painting and trying to recreate them in each work that follows.
play of light and the color of the skin in the hands are really well done!
Thanks so much!
Hi Ives, thought I’d stop by and visit you, since you kindly visited me, and I’m glad I did! I love this painting–especially the hands! One day I hope to do a series of paintings of hands. Well done!
Thanks very much! Hands are fun, but frustrating lol You should definitely do a series! That would be cool
