Silvana M Albano
Monet’s Lady in Tuscany, oil on paper, 28 x 30" (71 x 76 cm) Above is the greyscale comparison of yours versus mine so you can see what I mean. Another thing that’s a little confusing is the lighter blue shapes within your dark trees behind the green bushes. Not sure if those are intended to be holes or lighter accents on the trees. Your figure is good although the head could be a little smaller—something I’m often guilty of too. That little dark strip on the path leading into the bushes looks a little odd, not least of all because it joins in a straight line to the bush on the right. Needs looking at. Just a few things to think about. Good work!
Hi Silvana, good work here. You’ve kept the value pattern of the painting strong and given it some punchy colour; although, I don’t think the greys in the foreground are helping at all because they’re all the same value as the yellows there so it loses its sense of form.
