A pair of tiny figure paintings (each 6x6 oil on panel)

in #art7 years ago

Greetings,

A few years ago I made this pair of 6x6in paintings for a miniatures show. Painting tiny figures is an interesting challenge. In the detail shot below, the hand's width across the knuckles is only about 1/2 inch.

Amazing light source, I love how the glow is almost sculptural. The green/blue tones of her skin are also amazing. LOVE.

Awesome thank you, I had fun painting the backlit parts.

simply outstanding!!
l love the colour tone for them, it gives them an eery aura!

Loving the colors and the overall mood. Well done!

Thank you very much!

The colour selection is so intresting...makes me think we have caught the model in a performance - I love it. You did a great job with the hands gripping the hair, in fact the subtle muscle tone on the shoulder blades are so well done too. Upvoted and followed!

Thank you very much! :) :)
