The pic of the painting doesn't do the actual justice, or justin for that matter. Too much reflective varnish.

i'm commenting 2 minutes after you posted this.

golly.

just looking at these, the drawing has an intimacy and vulnerability that gets lost somewhere in the painting/photo.

That's called "Hollywood" Wolfie!

polish the soul right off of it! i know exactly what you mean...but, had I not posted the sketch.....

after another look, i feel like it's b/c in the drawing, they're so much more dominant, since they fill most of the space.

whereas in the painting, they kind of recede back into the image a bit.

think about rembrandt's or caravaggio's lighting of subjects...

maybe you wanna try something like that (which i'm sure is--sarcasm alert-- sooooo simple) to bring them out more sharply?

TheBlueMask said...

no, b/c that is how the image translated to me. Feel free do do your own interpretaion, my images are for all, I'm giving them away at this point. i felt that the environment was just as, if not more important than them. They were IN it, like when we get mad that bears invade campgrounds....lol, another tangient there

I meant "have" not "do" your own, do sounds rude -sorry

these feel really warm...(even though they're glossy).

heh, I like that comment about the bears "invading" our campgrounds, true true true.
