I am working on a painting for a client and I feel like I've spend my entire time reworking their faces and while I know I need to add in a zillion other things, will you please let me know what you think of it so far? Also, there will be a tree off to the left. I've added a picture of my set up just for fun. Oh, I've only included one of the pictures that I am using as a source just so you have an idea.
Also, I want to work to get their faces right and then play them up a little so it's more "painterly" as I am not a fan of photo realistic paintings.
Ugh... the more I look at these pictures the more I want to redo everything. Please tell me why drawing is so much easier than painting?
I wonder if finishing their bodies will help me be less frustrated...
But please, tell me what you think...
i don't see anything blatantly off in what you are doing..her face in the photograph seems to be more wide than long and the opposite seems to be true in the painting. i say work on the bodies for awhile to give yourself a break. then come back to the faces
ReplyDeleteThanks. I know there is a process with every painting, but I was so overwhelmed with work and life that I left my stress interupt the process. Also, I think you are right about the face. I think working on the jaw line will help...
