There are different "schools" on skintone. I prefer (2) dark/light pinks and predominantly dark yellow ochre mixed in so the skin doesn't appear too pink. All humans on the planet regardless of culture have a 2nd layer of skin under the epidermus. It's yellow. Look it up. :)
I used a palette knife for this series of paintings and large brushes. The gazing (mostly for the background is pretty new to me and I love the depth you can get with it. thanks for the comment.
Thank you. No. I draw them in with a wood burning pen and then just shade them with it. When I add the color I sometimes darken the areas I want to recede and leave other areas lighter to push them forward. Its all pretty flat in actuality.
i am undecided what color to paint the shaded highlights. maybe a purple blue shade? i am tired tonight and i will try tomorrow night. i am not happy with the shading under the middle leaf. i think it looks to black and not grey green. what do you guys see>
do you know what i found out when i went to take this pic. the canvas did not lay down level on the table. not squared ugh
I don't think I would change a thing. I like the kind of abstract quality of the sedum and I like the colors of the leaves just as they are. Glad to hear though that other artists get sick of working on a piece --I thought it was only me.
i laugh ... what am i trying to go for? answer> just to get this painting out of my hair. i started with a disaster and it needs a whole lotta fixin. about time of day.... i understand. the sun is trying to set so the light source needs to be in the correct part of the painting and i dont' think it is coming from the left
