Hello dear readers,
Remember I talked about Chuck Close and his impressive portraits; not only because of the grid technique also because of the dimesions; so I decided to take on a bigger task after my first attempt of this technique.
After I finished Oko I wanted to paint my girlfriend and gave it to her as a gift; the problem was that the size and the spare time I had were not proportional.
Besides I wanted to be a surprise but with all the time that took me even her parents saw it and actually titled it differently. So again prekrasna is in Slovak and it means beautiful. Talking about languages. I'll be learning Italian and Slovak next year; I'll keep you posted about my advancement on that end.
Back to the painting; lately I've been putting some hours and here is the final product. I started by painting the background colors; that took a lot of time, I wanted to be precise because usually the portraits does not resemble the model. I this case I wanted to show how beautiful my girlfriend is.
"Prekrasna" 36X48 Inches, oil on canvas, 2014.
Do you have some suggestions? comment and share.
