I’ve been working from Royalty Free Photographs for the last few paintings, including the Octopus. I was just starting a smaller version, using the same photograph, when I noticed that I’d left out part of the head on the big one – oooops!! I went back into the painting, added the missing bit, and outlined it a bit.
Can you see the difference? With the head showing BEHIND the eye, it makes the eye look waaaay better……
Big difference.
It happens! New bit below the eye?
Yep, there’s a bit above and a bigger bit below the eye – much better, sez I!
I love your octopus esp. with new improved head.
Thanks, yeah, I just LOVE the colors on that one! Made me laugh, tho’, when I realized I’d missed that bit on the head, jeesh!
