Wow, now that I have finished this painting and changed the facial features to be more accurate, it’s a lot easier to see what’s wrong with this one! Although sometimes it seems like one thing is off, but it’s really something else or a combo of a lot of things, for example an eye could seem in the wrong place but it might actually be the nose and eyebrow. On this one it was pretty much everything - mouth, eye, and nose

Comment on Lila Lee miniature (update 2) by Airn

Thanks! I use a lot of small flat brushes, I think they are 1/16 but the numbers rubbed off on the main ones so I’m not sure. For small details, like the eyes, the smallest I am using is a 5/0 round. On this one I was planning on glazing some color on, although I made it too dark I think. I often glaze over a mono underpainting when I am painting faces on panel, but paint more directly when I am painting on canvas. Still experimenting with different techniques though

Amazing! How small are your brushes??
I love the combination of vibrant blue and yellow hues with monochrome background Do you glaze or paint wet in wet?

Thank you for sharing your art. I like Alice. The cheshire cat looks a lot happier than she does!
I made a stained glass cheshire cat out of some glass pieces and a broken beer bottle, and it reminds me of my kitty.

You’re very talented.

Thank you! For the gems I tried to emulate Jan van Eyck somewhat, I love the way his paintings are dripping with jewels and gold…definitely want to paint more stuff like that

Airn, I adore all things “Alice”. So, naturally, I adore your “Alice’s Picnic in Wonderland” painting. It’s so original and unlike any contemporary artwork I’ve seen on the Alice-in-Wonderland theme. That’s an amazing Cheshire cat, by the way! I’m looking forward to seeing more of your art in the future.

Blessings,
Alexis

Airn, you are such a gifted artist. I love this painting of the angel with her beautiful skin tones so much. She has a heavenly radiance and seems like she’s a being from another world. Also, I like the jewels in her crown. It seems that it would be difficult to try to replice real gemstones, but you did a magnificent job! Keep up the good work…

Blessings,
Alexis
