At it again

After spending some frustrated time yesterday trying to paint hands, I just couldn't let it alone, I had to have another go.  So I went back to the easel today and made some adjustments.


These look much more like hands to me. 

After working on the hands I decided it was time to start tackling the pattern on the lady's gown.  This really had me really apprehensive because I just didn't know how it was going to approach it, let alone wonder how it would turn out.  Here are my efforts so far.
 

 

A few splodges of colour here and there doesn't look too crash hot but when you stand back...it actually looks o.k.  
 
 
I had forgotten how much I love painting, time just disappeared today.

  10. Beautiful work Anne. I find hands very, very difficult to draw and paint so I can empathise with you there - but I can also see you've done a great job! They are so expressive and you've done a lovely job with the lighting - giving them the depth.

  11. Nice job :)

    So many paintings suffer from being looked at from such close quarters that the illusion disappears.
