"Head Study 052012"

After all artists started painting on the third day of Fongwei's workshop, I set up my easel at a spot nobody chosen. It was a very challenge one. I have not done any head study from this angle before. I don't see much face features and I have no idea how to paint hair. After quite a struggle, I got this one. It is not too bad I think. I kind of like the hair I did.

  4. The hidden features of the profile are perfectly executed by your mastery of line! It fights with the linear character of the background though. I think the large brushstrokes in the background distract from the beautiful hair. Take some aristc liscense with the ear and you have a masterpiece!

  9. This is similiar to Andrew Wyeths "Christinas World", especially his preliminary drawings and watercolors. Actually the lighting and colors are similar.
