DAVID
Hi steemians....
It's been an awful long while....
Tonight I have an oil on canvas painting I wish to share with y'all. It is a painting replica of the famous statue of David by Michelangelo Buonarotti.
It is been a really long while too I did a monochromatic painted commission and this was a bit challenging.
Not just getting the overall resemblance of the famous status but also some of the intricate details like the hair especially, proved particularly tedious and got me working for extra hours and even days.
Also,I really struggled with getting the appropriate hue to depict the marble the figure was carved out from...yeah,I was as astonished and impressed as you are too when I first read Michelangelo carved that city-sized sculpture from marble. It is really an artist marvel that would still go down the anals of history.
Like I said,it is an oil on canvas commission painting sized 150cm X100cm, roughly 5ft X 3.3ft. I also spent a lot of time studying and interpreting my value scales in painting,just so I could understand the values of the hues better and also achieve illusion of three-dimensionality perfectly...
Enjoy!!!
