Description

I wanted to make another image with the same theme as my other work, 'Timeless Beauty.' This time I took the reference photo myself so I got the pose just right. I'm going to do that more often from now on.

Model: Maria G.

Fantastic painting and even better idea:)

Technically well done

Some slight issues:
  • The curve of her right forearm is a bit too much imo
  • it's not very clear what those pieces on top are made of; looks like feathery, but you would expect pieces of stone, but on the other hand I suspect that was the intention;)
I would have made the stone block a bit higher, now there is no room for her feet;P

Okay

The lighting, colors, details and overall impact is sublime

did this start out as a photo? I read on your website that you paint over photos when you paint? :/ the idea is great, looks wonderful too, but i hope it was done from scratch

Fabulous concept and execution. The background is well done too. I agree with Wallace about the bendy right arm, but otherwise perfect. Well done :)

I think the color of the background is perfect for this and adds a lot of warmth to an excellent picture. I personally like the anatomy of the girl, right forearm and all.

Really beautiful work. I like the sharpness of her figure against the soft shadow in the background. The detail is wonderful, and so is the anatomy and colors. I think it looks awesome and I like the idea behind it. The only thing that bugs me a little is the part of the stone that has been carved away. It looks more like blurred and stirred paint than rock that has been etched away. Maybe that's just because I can't see it closer up. Either way great job! :)
