Wonderful use of acrylics and beautiful design. I love the contrast between all the different colours and textures, and that hair is truly amazing

i love the luster in the hair, and the dress reminds me of georgia o-keefe flower.the colors are super-intense, which makes it very striking, my only thought is that maybe (maybe!) the background could be a little less intensely green, it kind of competes with the hair and dress. very texture-rich! has a very tactile quality.

Hey, thanks for the comment.
I see what you mean about the background, I don't think it's that bright in real life though- the digital photo seemed to make everything just a bit more vibrant. But thanks!

I have no idea how you managed to get your acrylics to do that. You must be magic.
This is a very nice painting.

The secret is gel retarder- add some and it makes the acrylics behave more like oils.
Thanks for the kind words.

The hair is very beautifully done and I love the frothy quality of the dress, it really appears to be chiffon or silk. Such a beautiful richness to the colours as well. Really well done.
