Artist's Comments

Orginal photograph by: Babak

Got this pretty little thing out of a hair magazine and I wanted to paint someone but I didn't want someone really complex and I wanted a simple palette of colors to work with.

Thus she came about, now she's not completely accurate seeing that I was using acrylics and I don't have any additives to ad to them so they don't dry as fast so I had to work rather quickly. So she's missing a large dark black shadow on her chin but it's almost better that its not there.

There was also a lot more skin tone on her neck but I didn't want to mix up more only to fuss it up with black, so therefore I left it as is.

I love love love her lips. They look so good! Plus her eyes are too bad either.

Currently I've started an oil portrait of her as well but I had to stop that cause my art teacher told me "You have to do one painting at a time!" Which is for the best because I'm a slacker. >.>

Estimated time: about 6 hours total I suppose.

They are sort of hard to work with if they're not runny or thick enough. Ha their picky.

You're welcome^^
I know that they are hard to work with because I have some. I just simply paint with them, just to fool around X3

Yeah, you can actually buy additives to make them runnier or to dry faster to make them work better. I have them for my watercolors, though I haven't gotten around to using them.

Really? I didn't know you could do that. Ah, well, you'll get used to it sooner or later.
