The Requisite Rose

gerbear (Apr 5, 2006)

Started with a magazine photo of rose and had so much fun playing with the program, blew off photo and just shaded. Beginning to get kind of Georgia O'Keefe-ish towards the top. I could retitle it "Realism Gone Awry?"

Oooo. I love the way you've mixed the desaturated tones of the hat and her skin with the supersaturated colours of her lips, her kimono and the background. The hat is *ahem* well, dammit, amazing. Love the tension in the chin strap/skin and the way you've just managed to hide her eyes from the viewer...so we're always trying to peer up under the edge of the hat. Critiques? Hmmm. That gorgeous bouncelight underneath her chin makes me wish there was a tiny bit of shine on the skin of her cheek. But's that nitpicking. I love this.

It's insane how much subtle texture is in the skin here. I can't begin to imagine how to do this with lascaux sketch, and it'd still be incredible regardless of the medium.

michaeleverett (Dec 19, 2005)

I've looked thru your gallery.Fantastic work!But this one is incredible,and for some strange reason the colors seem to trigger a past memory that I can't put my finger on.Your work is beyond that of a beginner.You have a gift!!!!

michaeleverett (Dec 8, 2005)

Very beautiful indeed!This looks like its on canvas.It even has brushstrokes in it,but what else could I expect from the great Rosmary.Glad to see you and your amazing gallery.

davincipoppalag (Dec 8, 2005)

Really nice one Rosemary. I've not seen much by Klimt so I don't know what it's supposed to look like, but this is really pretty.
