Hi

Thanks for your kind reply on my thread.
I can see u are painting like a real painter

I have a question - could you, please, share the canvas (and settings for it) u were using painting Sean Young?
It looks awesome

Hi Arturjutkowiak......Thanks for visiting and here are some settings that I used, not all because usually don't keep track of them.
I checked out your Home page and was very impressed with your work....looking forward to your paintings,
I have a sneaky suspicion they are going to be good...
Take care,
Steve

Funny thing is...I still will open this to tweak it a bit more.
I guess in my mind it's not quite done....

Hello Steve


You shared a lot of stuff here Thanks

The canvas I asked for is at the default settings I see here.
Im very cautious about using both airbrush and blurring\the fact is I excluded them from my tools\.
It is because Im interested in more painterly realism.
Generally it is why I decided to but Artrage - I want both to feel and show brushworking
Buttercream adds a lot to this effect.
When it comes to resolution, yes, 4000 is a good idea

Thanks for looking at my pf

ps

And bout your "Sean Young" - perhaps u could experiment a bit with contour lines - every element of the painting seems to have the same sharpness


Kindest regards,

Artur

No problem Artur.....my pleasure, gives me a chance to see if she needs a make over...'Like I said ... I guess in my mind it's not quite done'.
But thank you for your advice though...As for tools, I will use non traditional ones sparely 'sometimes' to achieve the effect that I 'am going for in a particular painting.
I have three modes of painting....'Rough smooth, Mild smooth and Ultra smooth....and some in between.
I appreciate and admire the goal you've set for yourself in achieving a more painterly traditional realism style, and by the way 'you appear to be on your way to that end.
Kindest regards,
Steve
Here's some examples of my three modes.....

[arturjutkowiak]

Yeah, I 've seen your Pieces and I like them


And I'm definetly NOT into hyperralism

Just a thought - variable contour line can create more depth in a painting

By the way, take a look at this

Continuation on 'Drink of water girl'...and a test regarding human nature.

[arturjutkowiak]

'Pale One' rulez. Very Difficult to paint - light streaks should not obscure the main subject Very subtle tonal and color values. Congratz
Sean Young is really your muse

Thanks Artur....Glad you like it.. 'Pale One' is a favorite one of mine as well, its not done yet..going to do some more tweaking to it.
Take care,
Steve
