Although, with the comparison, the photograph is much better. I used oil paints for this project, because I wanted the background to be blended well and to not have much detail. And to the the focus to be extra detailed. Although this project isn't finished, i had to wait for the drying process. I need to add more definition and highlights. At last as it is now dried i can get to that pronto. My favorite part of this was doing the background, because it was fun making dots of different colored paint. It starts out more purple on the top and as it gets lighter it turns yellow in the bottom. I wouldn't say the rose is my favorite, but then again it isn't done. I love painting the leaves, because the combination of green and purple works well. I love the texture of the oils, because it isn't flat. Hopefully I will like this project when it's finished. So far I do. The most difficult part was trying to have bright and pop of color in the rose. I really wanted to capture the reds and oranges in the rose, but it turned into a darker pink. Once i do touch ups i'm sure I can do that. |
