Hello, Steemians!
Sorry for the lack of comprehensive content recently, non-artistic life chasing me everywhere and tries to feed me some lemons. Will drop some interesting content sooner or later so stay tuned. This is my recent portrait study I've done in two sessions, one is alla prima you can see above (3 hours) and below you will find the result of second session when I tried to refine design and improve some aspect of this portrait.
"Kate", 30x40 cm, oil on linen
Hope you dig it, people!
This is amazing her face is so realistic

@arthurgain, the oil painting of the girl was so professional and pretty. Are you specialist in oil painting? Do you painted scenery as well? My parent own an oil painting of Hong Kong scenery (gifted from a friend). It really amazing and impressed on how artist like you able to paint such a fantastic job. I could imagine oil paint is not as easy as other water color pain.
Congratulation on your curie vote and you deserved it.

This is such a beautiful technique and painting that I call a 'real' painting. This is that kind of art that you can see in Duomo in Florence painted by the best artists ever.
She is so pretty and looks real. I love how exact are the lines that you painted. All details of her face are shaped perfectly.
I also like the warm colors. They make me feel that she is a very kind and friendly person.
Stunning art work that absolutely deserves the attention! Thank you for sharing!

howdy from Texas arthurgain! This portrait is so real and life-like. If this is a real person I bet she's thrilled with the results! Are you saying that it took you just 3 hours to paint the top one?
Do you paint portraits for a side income?

Thanks! I tend to do most crucial part wet-on-wet, if I don't like the outcome I can just wipe it off and start over on the next session. It's easier to add details or background later if face is painted nicely. And nothing can save the portrait if main part is not good. It should appeal with or without finishing touches.
Yes, I do some portrait commissions now and then.

We definitely dig it. This such a lovely portrait. Is she your friend? I like your use of shadows in the painting. How long did it take you to complete this?

Absolutely dig this! I really like how the shadow on the left side of her face (my right) blends in with her hair. Something about that and the color of her hair really brings out the eyes.
I'm impressed with the realism though. It's so awesome how you're able to pull that out in a painting. Did you scan it or take a photo of the final version to get it on steemit? Just curious how that's done.
Thanks for sharing!

Your oil painting works are so beautiful. I really like how you painted her face here, the colours are warm and natural, they remind me of paintings by the old masters.
Congratulations for your curie vote =).
