This was very much a learning technique and I need a few more angels before I will be even a little happy. Was fun and thank you for the great challenge. You know what they say a painting looks better if you donât stand to close and in this case please stand across the street before looking. Enjoy

You made me giggle about standing across the street but really, your angel is quite lovely1 I like how it looks as though her head is bowed! Simply beautiful!

You are giving everyone a smile today with your post about standing across the street. Your angel is pretty and you even got the hands which I thought was quite hard. I like that you left part of her clothing white and some in the yellow. I worked on my angel for a while and threw away 3/4 of them. It does take practice.

haha, I feel you and I am sure it looks different now that it is dry too. ( that's always the surprise to me what you see when its dry) I shot mine wet through the process on the blog too.
I love the detailing you gave the arms/chest here a lot

I like this angel - you got some beautifully sheer areas and that's not always easy with yellows. I sense that you might be a more controlled painter (like me) tending more often toward realism than illusion. I know I STRUGGLE with the "loose - let it flow" challenges, and it often takes a few days for me to see the beauty in my painting. On about my fourth scroll up to this card my eye caught the subtle heart shaped bodice - which works beautifully on so many levels.
