The circular motion of a portrait piece has worked well for me. I have found skill that I was not sure I would be able to attain. But at the end I still believe my technical skill needs much work.
Blind confidence in this piece has been for the least nerve wrecking. Yes I stuck to the rule, and yes I have begun to develop my own personal process and technique. But I am far from secure in my work in oil and see space for allot more patriot study in the future. Going forward hoping that it all works out is needed but has its costs. My objective is to produce a work that can be sold or at least appreciated by the the portrait model.
That being said I can now see that I can go forward and research the use of different brush strokes and how it may better be used. I also intend to look into other types of brushes. Sharpen technical skills so that I do not have to redo so much that I have to re-use paint when I get one colour correct as I still have to go back and make it correspond with what I have already done. Maybe this is part of every artists process, but for now I feel it is getting in the way of my imagination.
In the last critique I was shown to address the following:
Revise Left eye
Lighten Background
Finish forehead
Lip colour too red
