You're right, not for the faint of heart, the mini gave me palpitations as the basic paint job looked more than adequate but I wanted to push my boundaries. These tips are gold for me thank you!

The light source should be brighter than the light it casts on surrounding surfaces. The light's effect should diminish with distance from the source. <br /><br />Also light takes a straight path and is blocked by intervening objects.<br /><br />With this in mind, the left arm looks fine, the back of the right hand should be unaffected as it faces away from the light source, and the area below the source (the skirt) needs to be more involved.<br /><br />Finchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129945734586365556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659404329585395747.post-39035460838200425872016-09-06T01:09:47.174+01:002016-09-06T01:09:47.174+01:00I couldn't possibly give any useful criticism ...I couldn't possibly give any useful criticism of your painting, everything you've done is gold to me and my 3" brush.Zabadakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649765350412145174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659404329585395747.post-22342090083231348732016-09-05T22:30:24.475+01:002016-09-05T22:30:24.475+01:00Wow!
