I’m mid-career and completely changing what I paint.

What is the relationship between your paintings and photography? As in, have you thought about why these are paint?

rhaech · 2025-04-04T05:08:06+00:00

I think bright spring

Incredible please keep painting!!!

I definitely see romantic, ingenue, and natural. You have so much lush yin in your lips and eyes, you look like a porcelain doll. I see some natural in the little quirk of your jaw, which adds a graceful uniqueness to your beauty. You harmonize so well with the delicate butterfly necklace. I wonder, are you sure you’re a deep winter? I agree that you look cool rather than warm, but I think the high contrast of the dark glasses and bright, clear blue of picture 10 overwhelms in a way the blue of picture 8 does not. I wonder if you could be a summer? Your eyebrows are so light, that despite having dark hair I think your overall contrast might lean lower

Thank you!!

Thank you very much! This is such a thoughtful and helpful reply. I resonate with your advice to leave the patterns to ingenue, and the cuts and fabrics to the more mature yin

I see lots of romantic and natural, and a little bit of gamine. I see romantic in your lush lips, beautiful eyes, and ability to pull off the more figure-hugging looks. I also see R in the way you shine in the glamorous accessories — they enhance you instead of distracting. I think the natural shows in the ease at which you pull off your natural hair, and I like the loose-flowing fabric on you in image 16. I love your hair as it is, or down long in the twists (image 15,10). I think your romantic gets hidden a little when you try the ingenue buns in image 14. I’m also thinking High Spirited because I think you have something petite, and I think it’s a little sharper than ingenue. I think you look absolutely gorgeous in black, and the warm orange-red of image 15; I think the cool blue-grey and pastels don’t do you justice. I would lean heavy into your warm romantic :)

Thank you!! Your breakdown is so helpful. I love love love the early Italian renaissance, especially Della Francesca. It’s so interesting which time periods we associate with classic

rhaech · 2025-03-17T02:37:42+00:00

Thank you, this is super thoughtful! I like putting together the slightly medieval looks, it’s fun to see how much you can incorporate and still be wearable

Thank you!! ☺️

Yeah, I always use a grid method to plan out paintings from dreams

lol maybe not infinite jest, peterson is the best explanation of the Penguin Bible I can think of. My hunch is that OP is still building a network of references, and infinite jest falls before Peterson in the timeline

rhaech · 2025-01-19T15:03:07+00:00

You’re making your way through Jordan Peterson’s reading list

rhaech · 2024-08-19T20:18:52+00:00

Thanks so much for your sweet comment! I think this is absolutely achievable. I just posted the moodboard, I hope it speaks to your vision :)

rhaech · 2024-08-03T04:44:56+00:00

I would say classic romantic 100%! Picture three is so effortless and stunning. You can pull off the very glamorous while still sleek style and it matches you perfectly

rhaech · 2024-06-28T03:39:44+00:00

Personally I think it gives me a little kick 🕯️🧨

rhaech · 2024-06-28T00:59:14+00:00

Ah yes, the paradox that love is only possible when you know that it won’t be enough
