I saw that Orphelia painting by Millais when I was in Europe years ago. I think it was in London (can’t remember). The detail was amazing and the colors almost stained glass like! It’s all that tedious glazing in oils. I always loved the Pre-Raphaelites! You’re also named after one of my favorite painters, Bastien LePage. He has a gorgeous painting of Joan of Arc in the Metropolitan Museum in NYC. I definitely will follow your progress, you’ve got some great reference and your idea is fantastic. Looks cool so far.

Thank you Sandra !
Nice to ear that my references are not to bad… When I began this work, I was not sure that my Ophelia was appropriate for this competition. So that’s cool to have good comments :wink:

Hi. :wavey:

I love the idea, Ophelia is such a lovely story- not sure if it is a myth/legend though, but that’s another thing altogether-

I really like your composition, etc…but right now it’s looking a bit too busy? I would suggest desaturating the colours apart from the main figure, more like you had in your initial sketch and pushing the background back a bit (fog?) to put more emphasis on where the story is??

Keep it going, I want to see more. :smiley:

#54

huh, what a complexed composition! The elements r placed very well for my opinion, but the contrasts r a bit too strong at the moment… I cant really tell whats in front and what in the back. As paperclip suggested, some fog in the background or easier tones would help a lot there. Keep up the great work! :slight_smile:

#55

This is realy suppurb work,I like the style very much.

Keep up the good work

#56

Thank you guys !!!
I’m waiting for a short time … In order to take a distance with the picture. And then I’ll work on the atmospheric perspective, smog, etc…
:wink:

#59
