COOL! This is a nice technique. Very interesting as it makes one want to just keep looking at it. Not sure if it's intentional, but it's a little bit irregular here and there (nose & glasses), however, that's mostly what I like about it! This is a very cool painting indeed! Looks like it could be on the cover of a national magazine.

Please accept my compliments to, and I will love to ask you about your technique, can you share it with us?
How old are you, where are you leave (if this OK to ask) ?
Do you have more works to show here?

hello
thanks everybody for critique.
My name is Zoran, Zoki , I am from Slovenia, ex Yugoslavia, I am 30 years old I finished academy of fine art,
I work lately mainly on wood with oil, tempera and oil. I studied a lot Holbein and Van Eyck, Veermeer,done some icon painting too, i also made ceramic and jewelery.
I work in layers but mainly I use contrasting complementary underpainting. I try to have all the posible means of aplying colour in the same painting, glazes, impasto, rough and smooth, glossy and matt. Usualy there are a lot of layers which are either semi transparent or opaque and they complement each other
I will post some new paintings soon
greetings zoran

Wonderful! As another reviewer stated, it is difficult to take your eyes away from this.

One thing I would say though is that I would prefer, at least in my mind's eye, a darker background, creating a greater contrast between the face and the background.

Sincerely,

Zeke
