Longing | Impressionism with colored pencils I |
Really, for me it is difficult to describe what this work means to me, I have not worked for a long time using oil paintings and it is something I really miss, one afternoon I just felt nostalgia and started looking for something to paint that would bring me a little closer to that I began to paint in oil, I devoted a whole day to this work, although for me it seemed like a very short time, no doubt time flies when we do something that fills us, the original image can be found here in Pinterest
The Process
The sketch in this work I did quite quickly using 3H pencils, almost always I work with colored pencils I prefer to wait at the time of painting to work with patience all the details, especially in the background where you can see some areas of transparencies that give the impression of being bottles and glass containers, appropriate to the ambience of the work that would logically be a bar, these details worked as if you were working with oil paintings, trying to mix some colors, contrast them with the black background , leaving some areas of brightness, using an impressionistic style.
The skin was a little more complicated, in addition to taking care of the tonality with respect to the illuminations, I had to carefully work the lights and the shadows without neglecting the texture, even though the area of the skin is not so extensive it took me about 3 hours to finish ...
The dress was quite simple, I used blue and white colors for the area of brightness, and the rest was completely black as the bottom of the bottom, at this point the work was practically ready, it was just a matter of finishing to paint black all the lower area that was missing.
