Description
Acrylics27 x 35 cm
8 January 2006
This is a portrait of the Swedish singer/songwriter/musician/producer/etc. Laleh.
She's very popular here in Sweden right now and has won all kinds of awards,
like "artist of the year" and "song of the year" (for the song "Live Tomorrow").
I think that she's very charming and beautiful and that's why I painted her.

I love how you use such high contrast in these paintings. It's a very distinct style, and I think it's awesome.

Thanks. I think contrast makes pictures look more interesting. At least in paintings. I always use both pure black and pure white in my pictures.

I'm thinking the color scheme could be tweaked just a little, great composition though, the outline of her hair on the left might look good as a light blue, or maybe add another strip past the purpleish highlight..... hmm I dunno if thats whats bothering me or not... ha, yea taking pictures of paitnings sucks.... I feel ur pain

I dunno, I think with an added strip of light blue to highlight that side this might work quite well- at least for me- anyways keep experimenting either way- with your style throwing in a splash of odd color here or there could make things really interesting once you find the right approach! this painting reminded me a lot of one I saw from a fellow student the other year- it was set up like yours half and half- one side orange one side blue, and the portrait was in those colors, but then also squares of the opposite color also faded into the other side and into his face, etc... made it look quite cool, farely simple idea but the affect is great- anyways I still like this one- and we all know how hard it is too make paintings look proper with pictures so don't get dwn about it!

I have learned that it's hard to take photos of dark pink things. They always look purple or dark red instead.
Well, I'm just experimenting a little with the colors. So far not too many people seem to like it.

Jättetufft.
Ser nästan ut som om hon har en mask.
Ser ut att ha varit en svår målning.
Jag håller inte med kvinnan med bassängbild. Det oranga i ansiktet kanske inte gör att porträttet ser mer naturtroget ut, men det ger en kul dimension till verkligheten.

Grejen är att det skär sig lite när man ser fotot, men inte alls lika mycket i verkligheten. Men det ser ju inte ni, så. Jah. Funderar på att göra ansiktet helorange, ta bort det ljuslila, men vet inte om jag orkar.
Tack tack.

jag tycker att den oranga färgen i ansiktet förstör typ hela bilden

yeah, the colors aren't that great and the photo just makes them worse. they go together much better in reality. thanks anyway.

yeah it's pretty difficoult to take good photo of a painting... especially when it's very big and glossy, I've made one quite glossy acrylic painting 2x2 metres, and it's simply impossible to take a picture of it so I can't show it to anyone
