Hi again!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, there is a special calm atmosphere to this painting. I love the colors you've used. May I say something about the nostril? I almost don't use oils, but in general terms I think a slightly lighter black would work better (a very dark skin tone). Now I think it's competing with the eyes. What do you think? I also like the way you've included some of the colors of the nun's clothes (light blue) on the wall, that brings it all together.
Otro abrazo :)

You are doing great with faces, portraits. I thought she was mean and particular when I saw her in Jilly's photo. The truth is in the eyes of the watcher)
ReplyDeleteCarolina, good point on the nostrils. I seem to have a tendency to make the entire nostril very dark instead of beginning with a light skin tone then going to very dark.
ReplyDeleteIrina, I thought that she (the nun) looked a bit "serious" so I curled her lips into a smile and tried to put a smile in her eyes.
Thank you both for all that you do to help my painting.
