Retouching and Adding to Old Artworks 🎨

in #art6 years ago

Sometimes old artworks need to be improved.

An artists journey is about self improvement, so, it is expected that when you look back ok your past works you see your mistakes and what you did and didn't do. If your art hasn't been sealed, you can always go back to it.

💡💭 There are two ways to retouch:

  1. Is to add or layer over new details or more color.
  2. Adding missing details, shadows or highlights. In this case, highlights mean more erasing so less adding, more subtracting 😂

Why am I doing this?
Because I needed my art to be displayed in an exhibit, it opens tomorrow actually, Nov. 11-30.
I just thought of making my art better.

There might be others, but to start, here's some sample pics.

Title: Vanda Sanderiana or Waling waling
Medium: Oil Pastels
(This is how it originally looks)

Did some additions to it adding many kinds of flowers to fill up the space.

IT LOOKS LIKE THIS NOW

I'm not so sure if it looks better but at least the flowers filled up the empty space and is pleasant too!

Next

My pencil works were too light and lacked definition. So, I added darker tones and inked them.

I also used white charcoal to enhance eye highlights

I think it pops out more?

Do you think so?

To enhance!
