Comfy old paintings





Uncomfy pushing a painting to the limit and realising I've lost all edge control and colour nuance which made me love the original. WIP. It was really awesome to see it critiqued and painted over on a livestream.
Main points noted by MR Professional artist were:

• Using overlay, control focal points of the image from thumbnail form with darks and lights
  Macro contrast -> overall blocking away of non-focal reas
  Micro contrast -> greater detail, rendering and contrast at focal points
  Push shadows and Push foreground light
  Topleft block/shadow/image/component is required to fix composition
  "Its going places"
  "Eyes draw to hand too much"
  "Flow hair away, use it compositonally"
  "Dont stray from THIS area circles"
  "What the pineapple is going on here -gestures to dark blotch of legs and arm-"
  "-its really cool-"
  "asian feel to it"
  

General diary entry is I still despair for the last 5 years of my degree and want out but realize that that might not be possible and I dont know. I just reread old thread entries with nostalgia and bitterness.
