I wanted to create that late afternoon/ early evening atmosphere so am using a mostly warm colour palette for this painting with just touches of cool to add contrast and effect. The woman's face is now basically finished. To suggest the light shining in on her from the side it was important to really develop the darks to provide a real contrast to the almost white of the light side. I am pleased with the effect. Her face is only a small section of the whole painting so I have cropped right in for the photo so you can see it clearly. I will begin working on her clothes next.
I have also been busy designing some brochures. Debi Watson gave me the idea. Thank you Debi. Business cards are very convenient to have with you but at shows or sales its great to have the extra space that's available in a brochure to give potential customers more information about you. So here are a couple photo's of my new brochure.

This is going to be a MASTERPIECE! Wow, not only her skin tones are spot on, but the "character lines" on her face are SO believable!!

I never get tired of the way you render skin, this is amazing Ona
ReplyDeleteOna, the woman looks fabulous, such character and emotion in that face. Love the brochure idea. I tried making one but the program I have is too cheap and I can't design what I want. Yours is looking wonderful.

Thank you Brenda, Carol and Teresa.
ReplyDeleteThat's a shame about the program Carol. I used photoshop. There are several programs available that you could use though.

The facial expression, wrinkles and coloring are wonderful.
