☆ The painting that is never going to be finished [Friday Art]

Week 30: July 25th

I don't know why I thought I was over the hurdles with my winter princess painting.

I suspect that by now you are bored of reading about this painting - I know I am becoming impatiant with her.

So you can see part one + part two of this paintings journey + now on to part three.

As we were away last weekend + have spent the majority of this week catching up, I haven't had a huge amount of time to spend on her, but yesterday I had a cancellation + could spend some quality time on her, so I decided to takle her hair.

But true to form, she wasn't going to make that easy.

Ifinished the changes to her hands - I like these much more that before.


When I started with the bottome layer of white, I hadn't cleaned my brush properly so streaks of aqua came through, and that inspired me to add aqua to her hair in later layers.


Using a combination of white, black, aqua, raw sienna + titan buff, I finished one side of the hair.


The 'ugly' phase of her hair.


After about four hours, this is her hair almost finished.


Since I had the aqua out I finished the details on her earrings.


I liked the eyes originally, but I kept playing with them + stuffed them. But the best thing about acrylics is you can just paint over them again...


Today, I managed to start on the crown.


And this is where I left it for now. I am hoping that tomorrow night, I will have a large chunk of time to finish her off, but more than likely I will be changing her again - there is something bugging me about the sticks in her arms....

I was thinking of changing them to lily's or something...

I think I am in danger of never finishing this painting!!

Have a great weekend.

  1. She is wonderful - but I understand. I get hung up sometimes when something isn't right - but I'm not sure where to go with it. I love the hair and the blue dress is gorgeous!
