INDEPENDENT PROMPT work in progress

[TessaW]

I can see where you are going in connecting it to independence, but I don't think that comes to mind when I see the sketch. I think of relaxation, pampering and enjoying the small things in life.

All in all, I think this could be a really great illustration! Love the mood you've created and I think you should definitely take this to a finish.

It's a nice idea and I like the feel of this quite a lot. It has a classic quality to it. Would the final piece be loose and dreamy like this or do all your roughs look this way?

@tessw Thank you!

[lmrush]

@bnewman all my roughs tend to be like this, then I finish in watercolor! here is a rough and a finish

the finish

[smceccarelli]

@lmrush I agree with @TessW , I think more of relaxing and enjoying a moment of piece rather than independence. Still nice and worth bringing forward - I think the contrast between the dark tiled floor and the white bathtub could give a really nice effect.

@smceccarelli Thanks for your help, I will probably take this to finish down the road and go back to the drawing board with independent

[bnewman]

@lmrush Wow! This is great work!

[lmrush]

@bnewman thank you although I still have a long way to go

[lmrush]

So I won't be submitting this for independent, as most people saw it as pampered or relaxing, but I did get more experience pushing my values, I am not really thrilled with it but happy to be painting and pushing forward.

Definitely makes me smile! Love the concept!

@lmrush that is very cool. However it might look even better if you get it closer to composition from your sketch. I find it a bit disturbing that the curtain is so big, unless you are planing to dedecorate it more...?

[lmrush]

Thanks. My intention was to place text t on the curtain@aska

I really like it!, Watercolors?

[lmrush]

@jose-ramos Yes watercolor

@lmrush Well you might not be submitting for 'Independent' but It's a GREAT illustration AND you learned from it. I think the SVS guys would be proud of that!

@katrina-fowler Thank you!
