Knowing when to fold em
Lon,
You know, I'm not a quiter, but I don't see myself starting this piece over again, and this has many layers already put into it, I don't see being able to move her right eye a 1/4 " without it being a total bust.
I'm going to call it a good first effort and put it in the closet. Nothing lost. I learned a lot about color mixing, under painting, and about what "my style" might look like in flesh. I've been doing fantasy and still life up till this piece. It's my first oil portrait attempt. The most important thing, I learned how much I enjoy the human face and I have a determination to get better, much better. The hard part is finding new faces (guinea pigs) to sit for me.
The idea behind this series of women ancestry was intended to be my training so as I said, nothing lost.
Thanks for the input guys.
