Description

This one was painted in Painter 7. I only used the palette knife tool for this painting, trying to go for a more spontaneous look. I ended up with a tight rendering anyway. So much for trying to limit my tools for more a looser look. I used a magazine pic as reference, but I made significant changes so that the painting looks very different from the reference. This piece was the last time I used references that wasn't my own--now I shoot my own references.

Brilliant! I think the hair is wonderful, the highlights are so realistic, it makes it look like a photo. The hand is fantastic!

Hmmm.... very nice lookin`!! But I think that the most realistic things are the head and hand.

I uploaded a better version of the image. The old one had really bad compression artifacts. This one is clean.

This is one of my favorite artworks of all time. Nice work!
I think I even like it more than Sargent's "Madame X".

Her forehead is odd...and the skull is weird...I see it like that..It looks like it should be a little more round, or back.

Her body blends in with the shadows making her kind of hourglass shaped...lol...if you were to fix that it would look worlds better

What a beautiful girl !
Very nice, good work on it, but not enough imagination, or creativity, for me.

For me this is one of the most inspirational pieces i've seen in a long time. I just got 'de'artist' from ballistic publishing, and the full page face closeup on the cover is simply breathtaking. Not so much for the technical skills, more for that 'moment' that has been captured, like a split second breath of rest and peace. Ontop of that the hair, lighting and colours are amazing. I much prefer the facial closeup to the overall piece - which seems to lack something, maybe it has too much space for my liking. +7/7
