So I start this painting as a little warm up exercise, something I do after a hiatus. I just want to paint a very strong, elegant, sexy and seductive woman. I used a Marlene Dietrich picture as reference. Halfway through when I'm adjusting her hair, she suddenly started to look like Irene Adler. I never like the woman, but I feel that she would look like this.
and as usual.... I cut conners with her clothing... and her hair... LOL.
I really like her outfit and the tone of this piece. I just think her nose is too big/wide.
