She's like a rainbow

~ ~ ~ ~

Okay this painting was based on Florence Welch, from Florence and the Machine, but I changed it a bit because i didn't completely agree with the reference photo. Here is the link to the reference photo: [link]

This woman is so beautiful.

Oh well I'm still practising with oil paints.

I love oil paintings so much - they're so rich and they've got so much texture. If any type of painting could be considered luscious and drool-inducing, it would be oil paintings.
The hair in this is particularly awesome, with all the colours and textures it's just so...substantial. I don't know if that's the right word to use, but bulky didn't sound particularly complimentary even though it would have been.
Yellowy-green is definitely an underused colour. It looks great in this. Brings it to life and all that jazz. :)
I need to try oil paints at somepoint. So long as Witty isn't around to scream "But it'll take forever to dryyyyy!" at me as if that would be the world's greatest tragedy. ;)

Hehehe hi sorry I'm on my other account, but thought I'd reply - thanks! Yeah they are SOOO hard to use though, the only way to blend them is with your fingers and you need a particccular type of brush, and obvs. you have to explicitly clean your hands after it all, which sort of puts me off using them - so i have to force myself to. I did this as practise for how I'm going to do your hair in my other oil-painting. And btw you know the one I started of you..? It dried in about a week, in a hot room, so Whitfield's full of shit :) Yesh I love yellow-green-blue blends now, you're right, they ARE underused. Thanks for the big comment :D :heart:
