Mr. Wilson -- for M. Castaneda

[Magdalena Castaneda]

Good morning,

Thank you Steven & Chris for the quick critiques!

Steven - Yes, the head is very warm. I used Winston & Newton burnt umber. I hadn't seen the blues before, but you're right they are there. Something for me to keep in mind for my next one.

I did the background simply, my favorite way to focus on the figure, and also lend it a somewhat abstract quality to it as well.

Chris - I tend to incorporate a very sculpted drawing look into my paintings of figures, or head and shoulders, like the look. And composition is an aspect of painting that I continue to study, and feel is important.


Steven & Chris:
And the studio is my santuary! I've enjoyed seeing all of your work, and your generous critiquing with members of this forum. Thank you.
