Ok, version 2.0. I've reduced the dark shadows on the skin folds next to her arm, altered the highlight on her torso, and added a deeper shadow under the breasts. I kept the basic torso highlight to the viewer's right of center because the light direction is high left and front.

Qs and Cs?

Thanks! I've put the piece back on the bench to fix the issues. It shouldn't take long, then it'll be back to a couple of round projects.

I have pics of four other paintings fo this resin flat and this is by far the best interpretation, more specifically the face, th
e cheek, the eye, hair and the satin texture !!!

Congratulation. Agree with Daniel's comment too.. But very nice painting .....

Daniel, you're right about those two skin folds at the left arm. They are sculpted in, but there's no posturing of the body to cause them. I'll glaze them out.

Thanks Roger!

Joerg, I know what you mean! The valley is 'cleavage'. My light direction is high(ish) front left as viewed. I think I might need to change the highlight to a more vertical line on the viewer's right and add a shadow under the breasts. Some glazes should do it. I had to look at a lot of green satin pics to figure this out...

Fas-cinating !

A (quite small) doubt:
For my point of view the satin highlight under her breast could be a bit more left,
so that it is located right under the sinus (the valley between her breasts)
Uhm, talking female anatomy in a foreign language is a bit tricky....

That is lovely smooth painting Glen. I love the red hair and green eyes.

very well done Glen
satin fabric is very successful and the green very bright
only two small folds under left arm are disgracious

...gotta love 'em. This is a resin bust from Nemrod sculpted by Yvan Durand. It seems to walk in a gray area between cartoon and real. The lips were fine, but I re-sculpted the nose a bit to make it less bulbous. The nipples are engraved, so it would seem there's an option for painting sheer material. The main issue was the engraved eye which I felt was too small, too low, and too far away from the nose. The hair on the side was swept back, but there was no ear. Overall, the piece is three inches/75mm tall. I added more hair to the side (putty), filled in the eye (also putty) and re-scribed it in a new location and at a larger size.

Floquil Model Railroad Primer under Reaper Master Series Acrylic Paints. I went for a green satin bow and a green satin basque with sheer cups having green lace and orange flowers. The pics show the piece framed and unframed (the latter at a slightly larger size).

Questions and comments are welcomed. Let me know if I've missed something.

Cheers,

Glen
