I think this is done but still looking at it. I’m going to do it again but not sure about the composition. Do I like the horizon line hitting her face? Is that big green blob of a tree too big ? should I lower that dune and add more sky? The black is a mix of alizarin crimson, ultra marine blue and Quinn gold, but it looks chalky to meMaybe something a little deeper in color? Suggestion box is open….
From SS! How intimate! Please reshape or delete the object touching the lady's face! Lovers quarrel? The painting invites the viewer to hear what is going on!
ReplyDeleteThis has so much going for it! There's an intimacy—his arm on her shoulder is such a tender gesture. Lowering the horizon might make her face a stronger focal point like his and let the hill cradle them even more. Love the way the hands and arms take you through the painting and that path is echoed by the blanket (which is beautifully painted, by the way, as is all the fabric). They seem to be very together, yet very lost in their own thoughts and admiration of their surroundings. More sea and sky might add to that narrative. I could be wrong though....it might just lead you out the left end and make a boring space. As for the tree, it might just be too green. Seems like your more saturated colors are reserved for your subject...except for that tree. But feel to disregard anything I've said here. You've got a fine painting here!
