This 8 x 10 painting is a close up from the "Descending Angel" I painted and posted yesterday. This painting was quite challenging, despite having completed the painting yesterday. The image I am painting from is a photo of a sculpture...so the 'skin' tone is uniform with variations depending on the natural reflection from the light source on the sculpture. I felt that I was unable to create a likeness that also looked sculptural without eyes (the image I am referencing had nearly closed eyes looking downward. I clearly pushed the color using my knowledge / experience with portraiture. This work will benefit with some further work!
