< MALENA 11>

Amazing how you create such scenes with such few brushstrokes. And the use of colors is always great in your peaces. Are you planning to finish any of these “Malena” peaces? To make it more than a speedpaint?
And I was just thinking how any of these “Malena” peaces would look done with a pencil…Pencil! Your pencilwork rocks, the lines…:drool: flies away
razz:thanks, all “Malena” painting is overpainting from last version. for example, “Malena 11” is overpaint from “Malena 10”, it was save time and help a lot. all my works post here are finish work for sure, whatever detailing work or speedpaint. pencil for “Malena” drawing? haha, sounds fun, maybe try later , but i like use shapes for scenes painting.
here is a small WIP, hope it useful to get my point.

Zhuzhu, your ability to communicate the image you are referencing with precise, simplified strokes is really amazing. Even with the simple block-ins, I can see exactly what you’re painting. Fantastic work, man, your confidence shows in the line work and brushstrokes. Thanks so much for sharing it all! ![]()
ZhuZhu, I find myself just lingering and lingering over your exquisite work. It’s luscious…it’s inspiring…
…thank you.

I recently discovered your thread, and came to one obvious conclusion; You’re insanely talented. Insanely talented I tell ya!
Keep it up, very inspiring works.
Hi Zhu 
Lovely layered feeling to these paintings, the light coming through from the layers under, like water colour, (bold water colour
) and your studies, great to see! ![]()
Take care
cheers

Superb. Great atmosphere and use of light, as mentioned above. I also love pictures that seem to tell a story, and you seem to be very good at those. Wonderful work.
Wow, Zhuzhu, didn’t even think about that. Very creative. Great imagination you have there
Seeing different things each time in the same painting…Just keep inspiring :bounce:

Wow… it’s amazing how you use the hard strokes on your paintings… nice sketches too…
