Painting Final: Gina Applies Mascara

Here’s the latest version of my painting of Gina. It’s mostly finished, but I may keep making a few minor tweaks. I added some color to her face from what I showed last time, and finished the rest of the painting.

Painting Update: Gina Applies Mascara

Here’s an update on my painting of Gina that I started. I wanted the light to be bright on her face, but it might be a little too washed out. I’ll keep going with the rest of it, however, and then touch things up later.

New Painting Started: Gina Applies Mascara

I’m painting again. Started working on this today. It’s based on an old photo of mine of a friend, Gina, applying mascara as she looks in a mirror. The surface is a 9×12″ piece of white ABS plastic. I first made a line drawing of the photo to scale, and then transferred that to the panel. The paint is gouache, using raw sienna with a bit of yellow. I have a couple different ideas of where to go from here, and will probably merge them together somehow.
