Apotheoun (Tom Livezey at Eleven)

Patricia,

Thank you! I am in awe of your comments.

For some reason, I think the painting looks much better when viewed firsthand in the gallery than it looks in the posted photographs. This is probably true of everyones posted photos. Some qualities get lost in the translation.

I am as awed as you when others post their works, and I am hesitant to post mine because their photos seem to look better. I wonder how much better their works look in life. I guess the grass is always greener on the other side.

By the way, you sure can draw!

Thanks, Garth, that was very helpful!

Hi Garth,

Did you know that Velasquez used the velatura a lot ? Using white or light grays to unify his colors.

Allan, That must be true. Many of the color effects he acheived are impossible to arrive at without the use of velaturas.

Thanks!
