Tai Chi




Hello everyone,

This is the first portrait that I put up for a critique. The scan is pretty clear, but the colors did not come out quite right, the skin tones are a bit warmer than what shows.

This is a portrait of GrandMaster Lee, my Tai Chi teacher. It is a 24 X 28 oil on canvas. It is my first waist up and hands included portrait. The black on the fingers are not that dark in reality and the hands are warmer (sorry about the scan).I also deviated from the resource photo to make a more dramatic lighting.

Unfortunately, I gave this painting away to him, so I cannot modify it. But, I would really appreciate any comments so that I can learn from what I did wrong (or good!) with this painting and apply it to my new work.

Thank you.
