Reseeing Your Painting



Painting of Bani Thani is coming along and I'm so enjoying doing this. Not trying to recreate a masterpiece here, just having fun, but funny how when I see the painting on here I resee it and notice things I need to work on (specifically extending the white sheer of the veil onto the orange at the right). I suppose it's not unlike the mirror effect.

"When you wish to see whether the general effect of your picture corresponds with that of the object presented by nature, take a mirror and set it so that it reflects the actual thing, and then compare the reflection with your picture and consider carefully whether the subject of the two images is in conformity with both, studying especially the mirror." Leonardo DaVinci

Whoa, here is a classic and do you recognize who is sitting next to Dick Cavett?
