Gosh, you should post your 'failures' more often, @fumansiu! Even the 'failures' are so beautiful !
Even though they might not hit what you wanted to achieve, I think it's wonderful to see how you are inching closer to where you want to get by degrees :)
Gorgeous result with the 'final' piece too... Lovely gradation and lighting and I love your expressive and free strokes <3
Thank you so much for the lovely comment!
I'm glad you liked seeing the 'messy fails' part. I often hide all the practice that leads up to the wins but for this round I thought it was pretty interested to see the painting evolve.
Thanks again, your comment made me smile!
