Elliepower : I love the direction youā€™re going in. Itā€™s such a neat idea. I want to adapt/change one of the paintings too, seems like fun!

DigitalSol: I think your painting is looking great! How do you do the colour test, it looks so lovely. I know itā€™s something to do with layer modes but I canā€™t seem to use that well enough.Iā€™m stuck with painting like I do with oils. I need to learn to use Photoshopā€™s tools, hehe. The eyes look a little too blue in the colour version though, but that should be simple to change. Those folds are gorgeous! And thank you :).

Queensoul : Nice tonal study. Haha, I just noticed your signature, great!

audit: Thanks for showing your process! Itā€™s turning out so well :smiley: I opened a new canvas with the same dimensions too.It was mostly so I could check the positive/negative space, easier that way.

Aedilhum : Wonderful work! and so fast. Iā€™m very impressed :smiley:

Rebeccak : Thank you :slight_smile: I really like the softness the face seems to have, it feels like flesh.

RedSquirrel : Thanks! I donā€™t know what Dogwaffle Pro is but Iā€™ll look it up now. It seems to give great results. You have so many colours in there, Iā€™m in love with the painting. I just realised that the colours are so ā€œred squirrelā€ too, haha.

Maladie: Very nice lines! You have really captured the form of the face. :thumbsup:

billcunningham: Wow those stages are neat! I love the progress from one to the next.The strokes are gorgeous. I like how how you paint on top of the red-based underpainting, do you paint with traditional media too?

pierceda : Good stuff, keep going! :slight_smile:

SaraD : Looking good :thumbsup:

Corvax: I like how youā€™ve painted the hand, great start! Edit: Thatā€™s a lot of work for 45 mins, the headā€™s looking nice!

aggie93 : Yay for oils! I donā€™t know what masonite is though, we donā€™t have it around here. Iā€™ve heard about it a lot. I want to try a copy in oils too, the last I did was landscape by Corot.It was fun!

Cyanid: Very nice! You still have time for this one though :smiley:

Hereā€™s my update. Iā€™ve just been painting all over the image really. I worked some more on his left hand, a little on the lace and a bit on the books. Iā€™m trying hard to work all over the image, I have a tendency to finish off one part and to move on to the rest. The colours are proving to be a bit of a problem too, because of the dark background. I donā€™t colour pick, so itā€™s usually glazes of colour over each other till Iā€™m satisfied with how itā€™s looking, or till I get tired :smiley:

Many thanks Hiiri, yeah, the eyes are blue, will work on it, thanks.

I used to paint in oils too, as a fact sometimes I do, not to often but Im not good enough working the colors and the form at the same time, even in oils I use a seven layer technique, very close to this, I made a tutorial if u are interested the link to there is in my signature, My painting tutorial, look around please.

Gorgeous paint, I really love your work. :thumbsup:

#85

I have gingerly started a coloring wip. This is an adventure which I may very wimp out of :scream.

#86

I like it very much Queen, good work :applause:

#87

Good structural work, Oueensoul!! Also, the faces anatomy looks much more balanced now. His mouth makes him look like a geisha. But thatā€™s not necessarily a bad thing;)

#88

Masonite is a composite board. It varies in thickness. http://www.pearlpaint.com/shop~ocID~500~parentID~500~categoryID~9863.htm I just did a general search and found this site. It appeared the oil was drying faster on it than on canvas. It is the first time I have used it too. We will see.

#89

Wow, so much great work going on here! :bounce:

Great stuff everyone ~ wow, QS, Iā€™ll say it again ~ your improvement is remarkable! Iā€™m really proud of you. :slight_smile:

Cheers,

~Rebeccak

DigitalSol: I checked out your tutorial, very nice!Thanks :smiley:

Queensoul: Wonderful! The colours are lovely and the image on the whole is looking very nice.

aggie93: Ah, thanks. Drying fast in a good way? Otherwise the paint looks dull, doesnā€™t it? It may need some priming then.

I havenā€™t participated in OFDW in quite a while now, but Iā€™ve been browsing through these threads regularly. Itā€™s nice to see that OFDW is still going strong. :slight_smile:

Anyway, hereā€™s my attempt. Iā€™m not exactly happy with it, maybe Iā€™ll start over or continue with this one if I have time.

#95

TheDagger,

Great to see you in this! Nice start here ~ you might want to darken the whole picture with a low opacity layer on top of all of your other layers, then rebuild the lights gradually. Looking forward to seeing your progress!

Cheers, :slight_smile:

~Rebeccak

#96

You know, like I said, this is the first time I have used it. I will have to see.

#97

very nice progress here!

the dagger: nice start!

corvax: nice! the nose is especially good!

digitalsol: very nice sense of color, maybe the look is somewhat too polished, too smooth. The thing I like the most of Rembrandt are his rough, nearly overtextured paintings!

#98

Cyanid,

The dome of the head is looking great! Great lighting so far, really liking it a lot! :slight_smile:

If I may, my recommendation would be to be careful about not making the features of the face too small / bunched togetherā€¦otherwise, really liking the color pallette so far and think you could really create a nice, finished piece!

Cheers, :slight_smile:

Great stuff! :thumbsup:
Iā€™ll be joining the fun too, I wanted to join for a long time.
Iā€™ll start this weekend :slight_smile:

thanks for the fast reply rebecca!

I think I leave the face for what it is now, I focus more on the brilliant lightning of the original. You think the face is too ā€˜compactā€™ yet?
