i love this angle, the mood, the whole composition! you aced the textures. i love that rough style you used in a different way to create the different things like fur, tile, and you even did the sheer pantyhose right! your use of highlights too are excellently placed! wish i can paint like you!
if you dont mind me asking, whats in her right hand? is it a bouquet of flowers?

Hi, sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I'm not too active on here any more. She's holding a doll in right hand.

I like the hushed tone quality. All those different textures are incorporated nicely, I think. You can feel each individual texture. I like the different designs too: the animal print, the stripped shoes etc... Enjoyed the oil on paper work. Mai.

You are welcome. I also thought it could pass for pastels when I saw it,
I would like to take up oils, you know. Once again, nice work. Mai.

This is beautifully done. Magnificent handling of textures. With this kind of talent and this much work you really might want to think about getting a more durable support

Yes, I know. This was done for a school project and the teacher required it be on some form of paper (so he could transport it easily). All the work I do now is on canvas. Thank you for your comment...I'm glad you like it.

vanora [2004-08-16 23:40:14 +0000 UTC]

There is so much detail in this I love how the smoothness of the legs contrasts with the 'rougher' brushstrokes of everything else. It adds to the sensual feel of the painting. Beautiful!

artbyelm In reply to vanora [2004-08-17 20:59:45 +0000 UTC]

Thank you, I'm glad you like it. I was working on the different types of textures throughout the painting. I wanted the different objects to look different from each other...hoping that people could imagine the feel of the texture they were looking at.

i said i like your kois most of your gallery but this one is definetly
the scene is just fascinating and - as allready said before - erotic but not pornographic. it is quite hard to find this balance!

Thank you. I belive sexuality is important in our lives, but I think it can be expressed without being pornographic at the same time. And the detail...man...took a loooong time.

This is beautiful. Oil on paper? How does that hold up? Oil is so thick and all.

artbyelm In reply to AmandaRobbins [2004-07-21 01:12:04 +0000 UTC]

Well, I'm not sure about it's archival ability. It's on a bristol board like paper. I don't use very thick oil layers. These were pretty thin layers/glazes. It's been a year and it seems to be holding up fine. The only major thing I found was that the medium in the oil paints soaks into the paper rather quickly and gives it this velvet-like look...like a matte finish. This effect was pretty immediate (within minutes of me laying the paint down).

Sharp. I want to say good job on the hands cause I forgot to last time (I thought it was a photo when I first saw it.)

The leopard skin is great.
