Nicely done oil painting this.
The shading and brushwork is quite lovely.
The composition looks pretty good, but a little heavy (too much blank space) towards the top.
The rendering is a little stiff in terms of her posture, but overall its a really nice effort and quite beautiful.
Well done.

    Thank you very much for your six star vote and your comments. I originally had some doubts about doing the background in this manner but decided to try it anyway.

The artist has done great with the subject matter. She is drawn well proportioned. The color theme is quite interesting. The shading is perfect.

    Thank you for your 4.5 star vote and your comments. But, I am curious. What needs to be worked on that you see that I didn't? I would truly like to know so I may improve.
reply by Isidoro Perez III on 05-Dec-2017
    the rendering is well done. but the composition of the figure does'nt cause the eyes to flow in the the focal point and out of the rendering. The color of the subjects hair matches too close to the color of the background so when you see the picture from the distance you can't tell where the hair ends and the back ground begins. the yellow carpet doesn't add to the design instead causes the eyes to fight for attention with the red in the background and the pale skin of the subject. dark colors draw the eyes into the rendering while light colors like yellow causes the subject to pop out. by having the pale skin and the yellow carpet doesn't allow the attention flow thought out the rendering.

Great initial impact and contest entry. The position of the woman shows her muscle tone and form very well and makes for a great composition. Your body proportions are spot on. The shading and tones in the skin are very good. The background color is very relaxing and highlights the subject very well. Nice job and good luck in the contest.

    Thank you for your six star vote and your comments. You honor me. Yes, I have been told many times before I have the gift and I work at keeping it respectful and honorable absent malice or hateful presentation.

A superb rendering in oil which flatters the female form with exquisite curves and lines. Skillful finish and superb interplay of light and shadows. I think this is a strong contender for the contest. Keep them coming. Good luck!

I wish I had six stars left. Thank you for your notes on how you created this magnificent painting of a most beautiful human form. Your background does enhance your drawing as well as allow your figure to take the spotlight. You should be very pleased with your success on this piece.

    Thank you for your five star vote and your comments. Yes, I am pleased with it, for now. Killed a few brain cells on this one. When I grow some more back I will decide what I want to do next.

Hi Anon

Wow. The lighting in this is brilliant as it centres on the core of the languorous woman reclining. Beautiful entry into the contest and I wish you all the best. R

    Thank you for your five star vote and for your comments. Glad you noticed my intent to have more light in the center area than on each end of the form.
