Description I was trying out a different method for painting faces. It usually takes me forever to do them, but I've found a way that really works. I'm going to stick with underpainting from now on.

The flowers in her hair are chicory. Very beautiful, but they taste nasty.

It's beautiful but the arms are so very weird. I mean, they're just like rectangles, plain and straight.

That became a very beautiful Painting. That pleases me palely brown/violet Colormix very good. The vertical swung line of the breast of the woman to the head over the bridge of the hairs is very aesthetic. I have the impression that the woman is an instrument, a violin. The Backround brown delicate/violet and the beautiful flowers in the hair of the woman a poetic melody give the picture. (Sorry for my miserably English)

Your picture is nice. They are nice. Therefore one must say nice words to the art and the artist. That is a pleasure for the spectator.

Really calm.
Technique used almost looks like traditional art.

Thanks, I was going for a painterly look. I hate seeing artwork that looks too smooth and plastic.
