    Bride in Waiting(with WIP)

    Got a break form school and I finally got time to finish this.
    My friend gave me a photo and asked for me to paint a portrait of her in her Bridal Sari.

    So here it is.( It took ages...since i tried to work out how to do all the sequins and jelwellery!!! )

    I think i rushed it at the end to get it over with

    ADDITIONAL. Ive just included the work in progress (wip)
    I started off painting setting out the colours..i did need to have an outline..so i can capture her likeness....and the progressed with the final tones of colour and all that jewlwery

    Here it is finally, dear Enchanter!
    I'm speechless in front of this masterpiece! (both the painting and the lady I'd say)

    Dear Enchanter. very impressive piece of work , I was specially impressed with your attention to details, specially in the jewellry, cloth and ofcoures the face ... A great portrait which gives me the feeling as if made on a real oil painting canvas , which is my prefaired style, remainds me of the classic paintings of the great old artists . I like this one very much as well as all your work . I wish to see on this forum more work of the same quality from you and any other friends .

    Very good work Enchanter. Nice details. Fascinated by her expression. I guess she loves the portrait.

    A fascinating piece. You've nicely bridged the gap between near photo-realism and painterly. I'm particularly taken by the lip color and her expression of pride mixed with solemnity. Well done my friend.
