Beautiful, @leoplaw <3 I think studying everything from the ground up gives your figures a very convincing realism <3 I have said it before, but I love how you capture the twist and taut of the human bodies <3 This one is especially fine. The tone and values shifting throughout the torso and the legs are beautifully achieved <3
The dark sea gives a very subdued but potent mood to the finish <3
Thank you @veryspider! I have a level of finish to the artwork that I am aiming for, but need to put in much more practice yet. I must admit that on these smaller paintings I am not going as far as I could with the polish, I keep that more for the larger works.
