Beautiful!!!!
Denise,
From another Denise who also studied with Peggy Baumgaertner this summer - I see the apparent glow of the skin!
This is a beautifully done painting and I also love the painting of your husband that you also posted. I understand what you are doing as well, since I am striving to paint with Peggy's palette and applying what I observed and learned.
I also have trouble photographing without a glare and have one partially finished painting I may post for a critique that has a glare very similar to yours, so don't feel bad. I thought I just put too much light into the shadow!! heheeh
I am getting ready to paint an embroidered shirt from a photo I posted in the photo critique section. Mari recommended that I look at this painting of yours to see how you "treated" the embroidered dress. How lovely - I am so impressed and can't wait to paint the shirt now! You have inspired me.
Hard work pays off. You deserve much congratulations.
Sincerely,
|
