Well, I didn't get to finish my painting this week. But at least I managed to take some hurdles on the way, and I even know how I want to finish the rest of it. Just didn't have time anymore.
This is where I stopped last week:
And these are the stages it went through:
started painting the face
started wondering what to do with the background
Wanted to make some waves at the bottom, but didn't like it ....
But I still felt this painting has some ocean-like feel to it, so I added some coral instead. Better than the waves I think ...
This is how far I got.
And I managed to do a one-liner too!
She looked a bit too sad to write a funny quote next to her ☺

Denthe, it is very interesting seeing the layers of this painting unfold. I am excited to see where you are going to take this! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love the fish and the way the painting is progressing, wonderful work
ReplyDeleteDenthe ik ben helemaal weg van dit werk van je. hoe je figuur langzaam opkomt uit de achtergrond en daarna bewerk je de achtergrond opnieuw. Ik kwijl er van. Wat ben je toch een groot en kundig artiest. Echt ik bewonder je werk enorm.
ReplyDeletefijn weekend en lieve groetjes

Oh, I love it! I adore the color pallet you use. :)
ReplyDeleteHer torso has such a flowing form to it. So life like. I too enjoy watching how you bring your paintings to life . New quote to me. Huxley must ave been troubled to think that.
ReplyDeleteThe words are just perfect- scary but perfect. Happy PPF
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! It's the color that speaks to me. She is lovely, as is the detail surrounding her but the color.....stunning.
ReplyDeleteShe looks like she's in a magical underwater paridise! This is coming along beautifully and I will look forward to seeing the finished piece:) Nice to see you are still posting your funny girls, they always make me smile:))
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting, love the soft colors and intriguing shapes - it does have a dreamy underwater feeling! HPPF!

ReplyDeleteYour painting is very dynamic, colorful and sooooo creative ~ well done ~ love the one liner ~ she looks rather pensive more than serious to me ~ (A Creative Harbor)

ReplyDeleteI love watching your progression!!! I can't wait to see how you finish her and once again your one liner is great. I just may have to use that quote :0)
ReplyDeleteI´m fascinated by the way you create layers and see the figures emerge.

OH! What wonderful color! Have I asked you before what your medium is for getting such lush un-muddy color? And then the transparent lovely sculpted body of the woman! I am so enjoying the process!
ReplyDeleteThnx Gloria ☺ I'm using fluid acrylics, and acrylics where the pigment is not so strong, so they are more transparant. The secret for un-muddy colors is not mixing cold (blues, greens) and warm (reds, oranges, yellows) colors. You have to let it dry before you go on there with another color.
Deleteoh wow!!! this is amazing work!!! I love your style!!!
ReplyDeleteYou really know how to see things coming out of the colors. The eyes are so besutiful, so intense! and I do like you drew corals, sooo lovely! =)
ReplyDeleteAnd yes - impressive colors! :)
ReplyDeleteLooks fantastic! I love the colors you chose!
ReplyDeleteThe coral works really well! Good choice!
