This is my very first painting I did after Mr.Antonov's video, and I have only been painting for about two years prior. This painting is called "Easu" and relates to the book of Romans chapter 9. I'll have some new ones up soon ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alexei Antonov « Reply on: 03.

I would like to see the bigger details of the fragments circled by the squares of different colors in order to be able to discuss the texture. 2. I agree with the comment made by BluedemonX that the composition is too much centered. According to my opinion it shold be or central (non centered) or more L-shaped. 3. The little presence of the cold colors in half tones would strengthen the warmth of light. Alexei --------------------------------------------------------------------- Douglas_W « Reply on: 03.

I like what you have done in photoshop with the cold colors in the background, i have a hard time understanding halftones, and It is a challange to know how much of the dead underlayer should be allowed to come through in the color layers. I would like to get you some close ups of the piece but i am sorry that I no longer have it in my possesion, If I can I will try to contact the client so I can get some detail shots of the requested areas. If not I will post some more of my work. Thank you once again for your time
God Bless Doug
p.s Would I be able to show you paintings in progress?
