It’s me again!
.
This is a painting I did mostly for self promotion but it is likely to also serve as a grand scale home work for my school that will be criticised by my teachers (We were given a biblical verse to use as a source of inspiration, and I think this concept might just go with it).
.
I chose a Caravaggio inspired colour scheme. Blue flowers in her hair are to bring contrast to otherwise very yellowish palette.
.
I have not been happy to the way I have previously done my texturing (it always gave a very dirty and faded look to my paintings), and I discovered the new way almost accidentally. Of course there is no way for me to know if none of you can see the difference (you probably can’t), but to me the improvement is huge and I consider this easily to be the best painting I have painted so far. I will never again paint textures like I used to.

Here are my references and a link to the WIP if you want to see the steps.
