Elena


Remember the self-portrait I did in Sept. ..using lots of color to push the values, facial planes etc.? Well, I thought it would be fun to paint Elena like that though found myself toning it down a bit ...perhaps because of the mood of the photo; she was really absorbed in her book.

BTW - this painting was done in acrylic; the parade painting posted a couple days ago was with oil.  I really can't tell a difference looking at paintings.  Though, when painting, it feels very different.  Can you tell?
