Romanticism is style I expect I will continue to study as I progress in painting portraits. Because there is a strong sense of movement and emotion in the period as well as the artists exaggeration through certain visual elements; I believe that it can give one me a style that also has a strong attention to detail, inclusion of nature and freedom of adding stylistic details that I naturally am drawn to.
My limitations in this piece will be of course the visual facts of the period, where my portrait cannot include the fashion of the time (furniture, and attire). I am encouraged by this because as it will give my piece its own identity, while allowing me to study the style of painting.
Vermeer's work allows me to work on lighting effects a little more than my last piece. Using Vermeer and Romanticism I will attempt a natural lighting source that works with the motion and subtly of Romanticism, but will probably include a window like a typical Vermeer piece.
I have already worked a few photos of my wife to work from, but I already feel that I may have to revise her pose.
