Worst Day Revised


This is where I am in my piece so far - still rough, but in terms of colors, it's pretty close to what I'll be going with. The composition bugs me, though - seems too closed in on the right side, where the portfolio is. Should I add some more picture space there? Tone down the black of the portfolio to something less in-your-face so it doesn't weigh your eye down so much? Both? (And yes, I do plan to make that umbrella completely messed up by the wind.)

  1. I do like the colors. I think it goes really well with your concept. I'm glad you added some color with putting red in her hair.

  2. Love the perspective, love the hint of reflections in the puddles of water :)

    Have you thought about lightening up or moving the wall behind the umbrella? It's so dark and looming the umbrella gets a little lost against its backdrop.

  3. I really like the shading; can't wait to see it when it's finished! Definitely tone down the portfolio, or add some highlights to it (which I'm sure you will); it kind of got lost in the painting...I thought it was part of the background.

  4. I like the colors it looks like you got a finish piece.
