First Critique
Hello, everyone. This is my first time ever posting one of my paintings on this forum and I can honestly say that it is very intimidating for me. Being a student, you can't help but feel a little afraid of jumping into a profession where there are people with more experience and skill.
The painting I'm presenting today is a project I completed for my independant studies with Professor L. Parker. It's oil on canvas 36x36. The painting was created using sketch notes I made while visiting the student union and other facilities on campus. Anatomy, proportioning was obtained from these sketch notes then systematically intergrated together into the piece you see now. The face is no one in particular since I could not find any volunteers to pose as the ballerina, (my friends said they were not thin enough) so the face was invented using traits from different people from observation. The time from start to finish for this painting is approximately 35+ hours (one week).
I'm sure some of you may ask where the legs are and I can assure you that they are present on the painting. The photo seemingly washed them out, unfortunatly.
Please feel free to give me suggestions or comments on this painting as it will help me to improve. Thank you.
Orville V.
