The portrait of Lorena finally got dry enough for me to try applying some glazes. I used M Graham's non-toxic walnut alkyd medium for oils, mixed with small amounts of paint.
Note: The top photo is of the eyes after I read pasadenaadjacent's comment and re-painted; the lower is of the askew eyes pasadenaadjacent commented upon. The last photo is of the whole portrait, as it now looks.
the eyes are looking at different points. A little off kilter and I like it
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reality check. No matter how appealing, in this particular case, I'm going to straighten out the eyes and make them closer to a realistic depiction.
ReplyDeleteOh, this is so good, she looks serene. I'm going to find the Cezanne the lower one reminds me of -- it was a landscape, actually.
ReplyDeleteThank you, AH. I'll be interested to see the Cezanne.
ReplyDeleteThis isn't quite it, but close

It's pretty close. Much of the same feeling and composition.
