Yeh, something like




I really like the deep dark along Gypsy's leg! You can definitely tell where the light is and the figures are starting to "glow". This has been a great exercise. My next learning experience (in oil) will be a formal portrait of a beautiful young woman with incredible long red hair. I plan to incorporate these techniques in the painting (along with some decent photo references). I'll just have to open the window and move the air cleaner directly under my nose so I can use the Venice turp!

This is ready to go to its new home. Did you ever get to the point of boredom? I haven't been working much lately, am in rehab for neuromuscular training and its taking much of my energy. But I have hopes for improvement.

I'm not totally pleased with this for many reasons, but have learned so much that it certainly was not wasted time! I thank you, Michele and Chris, for the guidance on this one. It's comforting to have guides over my shoulder.

For some reason these are posting lighter than the photos, so try to envision them darker.

One more thing....

("Oh, no!" you say.)

I would really soften the edges around the Dad's eye on our right, and a few other edges of features here and there too.

Very nice!
