80 - Bec & Em, 81 - Ethel & Mavis

We just had our first critique of my senior 1 semester in block!

After the meticulous ground on the portrait of Voltaire, I decided to minimalist the ground here and focus on Bec Cook and Em Connor.

I was really meticulous on the girls instead. So the focused was switched. Bec's hosiery was really hard and things like hands I had to be careful with. This was also painted from a photo. I'm trying to do less painting from photos.

Lastly, I also did a second painting, using the good painting as a reference in 2 hours rather than days. I named it Ethel & Mavis. I get too OCD and too meticulous to the point that I overwork things.
