Girl with necklace
Finished this one in clas recently. The hands were a real pain. Thanks for looking
Dreamy eyed, soft, and beautiful! This women could have just about any man she wants, but the dreamy stare says a little different. Just a great piece of art Carolyn Well done!
with the second I'm having a little trouble with the perspective of the boats.
Lovely painting Carolyn, muted shades, perfectly painted i think. hands are lovely no need to worry there. the expression is what catches ones attention and you've done that brilliantly!!! yes whats the medium??
Thank you for your encouraging thoughts. Yes, the boat perpspective is a puzzle. It's looking down on the boats and across the river but hard to achieve that perpspective.

Lovely soft, tonal painting here Carolyn. Love the composition , softness and facial expression in this. Beautiful job. Brian
ReplyDeleteHey Carolyn, Yes this is beautiful, helps that the subject is as well!! Great job. I think the hands look great, natural.
ReplyDeleteYes I also feel that boat is sitting on top of the water.
Wow, a ton of technical skill on display here. Great work. BTW, I'm always curious to know size and medium if you don't mind to list.

ReplyDeleteThe girl is 9x12 oil and the boats are 16x20 oil.

Words of wisdom on painting hands.
ReplyDeleteAh! the hands.
So elegant yet so mysterious.
So complex yet so practical.
I mean what else could you use if you wanted to pick your nose?
No wonder they are so hard to paint!
very nicely done
