It needs touch ups, I was thinking of adding colour to the face, but I don't think I will. I was kind of going for the unfinished look, maybe I'll do another one. Je ne sais pas.
I love art like this, because it shows the power of the imagination of the artist. First, you haven't used bold colours, and the way you've set yourself at the bottom right corner suggests an artist who likes to blend in with their surrounding. At the same time you have broad horizons, as your image is not finite. You have transpired a gory image without making it immediately apparent. I look at your picture and it tells me a whole story. It is not the best self-portrait I've seen, but it is completely interesting. It speaks volumes. A young lady in black, with a head shaped like a lemon, is being eaten by black maggots. The black maggots are getting eaten by the green maggots and they are seperated by a guitar, which is holding back the big red maggots who want to eat everything. It's about you thinking of changing your hair colour, isn't it?
ohh personaly i think it is finnished it captures something of your mood, & where your at in life, it says i am more then i apear
I have a funny way of seeing things. It is a fine painting. It is vibrant and cheerful. I like it for its originality, and the artist's humour.
I find it very interesting how you used oils as if it was acrylic. Do you normally paint in oils in this way or was a conscious decision? I have a problem with the brown line that is dividing the portrait from the top of the painting. I think it would look more uniform as a composition if you took out the brown line and made the green and red mingle a little. DId you do the portrait from a photograph?
Actually, it was a completely conscious decision to do the oils as if I were painting with acrylics. Initially, I had intended on blending them in an oil type fashion but I thought it bring the colours out more if I left them unblended. I'm going to add more to them. I still can't decide if I should leave the face black and white or if I should add some pink hues to it, to go with the roses on top. And, yes, I got the idea from a photograph.
Its great but the eyebrow on our left should be thinner also it just needs one small line to make the shaddow somewhere near the eye to mark where the nose begins - also a theres something wrong on the rightside of the face theres a detail missing thats small other than that its great - well done
