Background...


Ik was zo voorzichtig met dit portret (zie hier), maar ik vond dat er iets aan ontbrak. Dus ik heb het Palestijnse meisje een achtergrond gegeven. En ik heb ook turquoise aan het palet toegevoegd. 

I was so careful painting this portrait (see here), but I thought it lacked something. So I gave the Palestinian girl a background. And I also added turquoise to the palette.

  1. Yes Judy, it added to it.
    Sometimes backgrounds are needed, and it's a choice we make.

    I am really surprised that the background and deepening the shadows made her expression even lovelier. I liked the portrait, but now I like it even more.

  21. It's a very nice portrait Judy, and they are gorgeous colours that you've used. However, although I'm alone in my opinion, I have to say that I preferred the white background. ;-)

  26. Thank you everyone, I appreciate your comments so much!

    Interesting that some of you prefer the white background, and I can see your point. Every painting for me is an experiment, and I am experimenting with backgrounds at the moment. So I will try more of this, I am afraid.

  27. I like both variations and some will like the white background and some will like the blue but to me it is not just the fact of "liking" one or the other it is your were willing to take a risk so to speak and see "what if" by adding the blue and we get to see you in action and see the results and hopefully learn from it and realize there is no right or wrong in art....that to me is what makes it art in the end.
