These are rough sketches on wind blown hair. Initially the hair was going to be gathered in the back but I decided loose is better. The second one looks more like what I want, but it never hurts to play, right? I absolutely love painting people with acrylics.
There's more to be done on this painting, but for now that's where I'm at.

I think I do like the second one ... the flowing hair is soothing to me...I do not know why though. Keep up the great work! Peace, Mary Helen
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary Helen! Yes, the second is softer in the eye, the other one is too crazy, much movement
ReplyDeleteLoving Number 2, another wonderful piece Martha, & always good to have a play ;)
ReplyDeleteI think the 2nd one too--just beautiful!

I love the second one, though I think the first is quite charming... lovely work as always... xx
ReplyDeleteMartha, I love your style of painting and I am so enjoying the painting you sent me. I wondered if it might be someone you know or is it just from your head. In the two versions of this beautiful WIP, I definitely prefer the swooping windblown hair of the 2nd one. Great start. I'm eager to see it progress.
ReplyDeleteFaye
I like the direction of the hair in the second one. Perhaps a bit more could be added though?
ReplyDeleteLovely - with or without the blowing hair.

ReplyDeleteI like the second one the best ...but I do like them both.
ReplyDeleteEVA, yes, it would definitely be more hair, this was just a sketch with pencil :o}
ReplyDeleteI choose the second one with hair flowing downward. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteThis woman have many personality...you must wait the inspiration. Saludos
ReplyDeleteThis is a great painting, indeed.
ReplyDeleteGreat work
oh, I like them both ways!!! I can't decide! Really nice!
ReplyDeleteThey are all divine Martha. Excellent work.
ReplyDeletewell, they are different winds, the second one is a peaceful, gentle breeze, very reassuring, and the first one is a wind that blows away the doubt and fear, and energizes you for what's next.
ReplyDeleteI love the first one, it's like a skydiver taking that deep centering breath before the leap.
