This is a beautiful figurative painting. You have done it tastefully. The light, colour and the composition have worked well. Good effort!

I like this piece, as well as the background color and composition. Looks like this was a photo shoot. Keep up the good work.

Great composition in this oil painting Artwork. The hair really is the focal point although the black clothing punctuates the whole composition as well. I like your tonal quality, your details are captured amazingly. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent work on model in difficult lighting I was working on a similar lighting and finally just trashed it! LOL! Lovely flesh tones, upload cannot do this type of work justice. I like the black scarf-very dramatic and the choice of what appears to be Payne's Grey hued background! jean

    i reviewed one of his pieces and focused on the positives of his art work rather than the negative i do not take revenge that is childish

    I went back and read what he wrote, he hasn't been here too long either. I admire you for taking the 'high road'! It is hard to do sometimes! jean

Comment from lannyroff


This is an interesting painting but it seems to me to be shadowed in reverse. The light source seems to be coming from the upper left corner of the picture, but the shadows on her arm, back and hip are also on the left. Perhaps the artist had something in mind when they did this, but I think that by reversing the light and shadows on the arm, back and hip would make this a very good picture.

Comment from Life is but a dream.


Feels very free flowing and good light shadow play on this James. I like the light source from behind and the way her eyes are looking right at us. Nice tight crop, great tonal range and perspective well done.

Fine work here.

Great work. you have indeed captured the lighting very well. The colouring of her hair and her pose are very well presented. The tones of her skin are very nice. Love the work and your style. Well done :) thank you for sharing.

Great job, excellent technique and the lighting and shadowing went well for you. It all did come together nicely. Very lovely young woman and beautiful features. Her hair is gorgeous. The details are fantastic and your work is excellent.

    Thanks so much James, this was with a totally different medium and love painting walls and other stuff so thought what the heck. How do you get your pictures of your drawing on here? And to get them which seems very true to color.
