Description

Hi there,
It`s my new work for one private customer ..
Live portrait of the woman which was my client.
Some of my own images was used as reference for guy`s body ( it`s my model Jan, you can see him here http://www.ljplus.ru/img3/s/o/sokkolova/_2.jpg)
And I drew some live-sketches from my sister`s arms couse I wanted to paint it in such difficult pose.
I was looking for a mystic mood,daybreak and soft airy feeling...
So I used a lot of airbrushes ( especially fot background ) and oils brushes here (it`s my favourite)
Using Painter IX.
I hope you like it, I have put a much of myself into this painting ...
PS/
I wish to tell you, that my Sketchbook is in this month issue of 2DArtists magazine.
Maybe, it will be interesting for some of yours to read, how I have created my paintings.
I have written few tutorials about my technique, about my process of creation works - from idea and pencil sketch till the finally digital work.

There are a lot of great elements in this piece. One crit, though: the imagery is a little confusing to me. What is happening with that guy? To me he doesn't seem integrated well enough with the rest. Also, I'm confused by the woman's position relative to the "ground" her dress is mostly flat, but part of it descends - as does her hair. There is a visually strong geometric angle formed by her dress which is alone among the otherwise organic curves of the whole (perhaps there is a reason for that?). I know you were going for an airy mood, but I think you could really improve this work by integrating the figures into their environment. For example: is her hair trailing into the water? if so, what would happen at the point where it transitions from air to water... what would the hair look like?

Anyway... despite my gripes this work is strong as is. Good job!

By the way, your image for Marla is not showing up.

Haha, this is the first time I discoevered the man being on this.
Is he walking through the water? He looks abit cut off.
However, lovely work. Dress in front of her looks a bit hard... should move along with the back part I think :)

I am impressed how you poainted all this from life, as you said, I'd still need photo ref ;)

Penraeth - thank you for the attention, but it seems a little strange, that you said me about realistic... Yes, maybe her heir looks some unnaturally.
But elf ear of a guy or fantasy butterflies or strainge bird are unnaturally too.
I think, it`s very fantasy and non-realistyc painting...and, maybe, sometimes when I create new picture I have forgotten about reality :)
I was all in my fantasy, when created this work :)

Anyway, thank you for interesting comment, I appreciate it very much.

Katarina's on a roll! Great work, although I think it's a bit too cluttered. Sometimes less is more.

The bird in the right corner... and the butterflies.... I just LOVE them

Though I can understand what some people said about details and the 'realistic/unrealistic issue' about your painting, I can understand your point of view of 'getting in another world' when painting...... I have the same thing. Unless I'm designing products.... :p

Keep it up!
