Alrighty, my first assignment in painting class was to choose a painting, blow up a copy, stetch in charcoal, and repaint it. I'd say it turned out nicely...

[Stifled Dreams]

Woah, turned out really nice! I love it! Oil paints? And what is the original painting, I don't recognize it.

Lovely use of color, I'd say.

[RollOfDimes]

Thank you much! Acrylics, actually... the painting is called Gathering, but I could't find it online. It was in a magazine or something.

[Stifled Dreams]

Wow, acrylics? See how much I can't tell the difference? It is all just blended very nicely. Did it take a long time?

[Gryff]

Hey, looks really good! The figure is especially good -- confident brush work and good colours. The background looks a little, i don't know, washed out? Did you use some kind of white glaze over the background?

Who is the original by? I would like to see it to compare.

[Bunnyman]

The composition and lighting are quite impressive.  The image just jives nicely, y'know?  Looks somewhere between impressionism and Georgia O'Keefe, which isn't at all a bad thing.

Thanks! Aye, I could be happier with the background, but ah well, first major painting. I'm quite fond of the coloring of the flowers and dress.

Actually, I have no idea who it's by. I tryed looking it up multiple times, but couldn't find a match. :-/

Up next: My sister and I (after Xmas--it's a gift for my mom and I don't want to risk her finding it on my backup) and Johnny Depp shrine! Eff yesh!

My sister and I!
