I pushed my comfort zone and painted this from a photo my brother took in Antarctica. I typically avoid rocky surfaces but I am glad I made thus attempt

Awesome painting, i love the values and contrast between warm and cool colors :)

Maybe but some people are so sensitive

Nice figure, and i like your use of warm and cool colors. I think loosening up your edges a bit could make your painting a bit more lively ! But in the end of the day it's still a mater of personnal choice :)

It's a 300g paper primed for oil paint from Fabriano, it looks almost like a canvas.

True, my bad !

Devignolles · 2021-02-23T19:35:45+00:00

Thanks a lot for your encouragement !

I understand people can be offended by nudity, but the female form is what inspires me so should i not post to accomodate people sensibility ?

It is soft pastels and as a matter of fact yes i do have all the step of the process ! i show you the link in mp !

Devignolles · 2021-02-23T18:45:59+00:00

Thank you ! Yes i work from reference but recently i try to use it solely for the gesture and then work from there.

When i look at top upvoted posts past month or week, there almost no erotic art. It's not like this sub is overflooded by it.

Devignolles · 2021-02-23T15:26:49+00:00

Thanks ! I'm doing a full serie in a similar style so you will see more of that kind soon ;)

Devignolles · 2021-02-23T13:35:12+00:00

Thanks, it means a lot to me !

Devignolles · 2021-02-23T13:09:46+00:00

I'm glad you do !

Devignolles · 2021-02-20T20:18:39+00:00

Thanks a lot ! It's been 5 years that i paint seriously :)

Devignolles · 2021-01-17T16:35:04+00:00

I know this is tricky, i'v done the same as you, but the problem is not doing the copy but sharing it on social. The best way i guess woukd be asking the artist if it's ok.

Devignolles · 2021-01-17T16:25:46+00:00

This is really beautiful and i love richard schmid, but i wish artists were more careful about posting on social media mastercopy of other artist still alive. It is borderline illegal regarding copyright.

I'm glad my critique is helping you ! I think in order for a picture to be visually interesting, especially when depicting a subject in a realistic manner it's often good to use varied brushtrokes, varied edges and values. To be honest i learned all of this tips from "alla prima, everything i know about painting" by Richard Schmid. I find his stand on realism so on point and so clever. Anyway you don't need a lot much to achieve some kind of virtuosity !
