"Beautiful Girl" (Do-over In Progress) I'm no Carol Nelson, that's for sure. I decided I had to try again on this portrait, which is still in progress. Hope this is okay to post -- and if anyone else has redo's on any artwork you've done here so far, I for one am interested to see. I know I'm surely not the only one who has moleskin mailer's remorse sometimes? My goal was to work on making the colors more interesting as well as shooting for a better likeness. Trying to make her as gorgeous as she really is is quite a feat! Sometimes we have the opposite situation as portrait painters so that's a credit to the model. And if you already commented on the other version you're off the hook for doing so here, just wanted to share the attempt at redemption. Any further progress I'll save for my own blog. 14 x 11 oil on Ampersand board.

Only one comment.............. BEAUTIFUL ..... all I can say. Wow !
ReplyDeleteThank you
This one surely beats the former one-hands down!
ReplyDeleteGreat work!
yes yes yes - great to see the revision! It's gorgeous. Colors are lovely. Painting seems more harmonious.
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean that everyone who has already done something in Dominique's book has to do another one in this her NEW book...ha? You nailed it second time round Camille.
ReplyDeleteCamille --moleskins mailer's remorse--you crack me up! I have moleskins painter's remorse, but I didn't know what to call it, thanks for letting me borrow your phrase. :-) Since I have your original right now, I'd like to say that I do like both, but I am a little more partial to this background with the skin tone, just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSo, on to moleskins painter's remorse...Dominique, I just completely wiped out my painting for you, only to find myself avoiding the start over by killing time on the laptop...wish me luck, please.
Angela.............. all I can say is ............ have a margaritas !
ReplyDeleteGreat portrait, I love the colors!
