"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.

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!; May 23, 2012 at 3:05 AM
