Like the kind where you really care about the characters. Everything was great, from the acting, to the look and feel of the movie. The costumes were spot on.

I was going to take it even further, but I ran out of time.<br /><br />Narciso, as I mentioned above, I was taking the Leyendecker approach, part of which consists of opaque paint over a transparent underpainting. It takes more time to do, which is why I usually shy away from it, but it certainly imbues the subject with more presence.Paolo Riverahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11088106827920011644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959702978311327862.post-2561404320139440132011-02-07T05:21:05.458-08:002011-02-07T05:21:05.458-08:00I love the immediacy of your painting study!
