Here is a commission I'm soon to wrap up....I'm new to the foliage thing and to glazing...Here is the painting, a link to a larger picture of it...any suggestions with the foliage and hints of color in the background would be appreciated. The kids are dry and thebackground is wet so they have a hazy appearance for now, I guess until it is varnished. Not a whole lot of experience with oils/glazing/varnishing...etc., learning as I go!
The size is 36x48, oil on oil primed linen...as I said, more to do on the background...need to push some of that foliage back some with glazes and blur the edges of the kids and drop some zingers in here and there with color and generally tie the whole thing together. Maybe more shadowing on them, in their clothing and where her ankles are crossed, etc., we'll see!
Asking for C&C here...thanks in advance!!
