comparisons

My assignment for class a few weeks ago was to redo the previous assignment and make it better. This image is a little distorted as you can tell, but WOW are they different! The one on the right is the original, done in muted colors (mostly glazes) over a grisaille (which was actually a drawing). For the one on the left, I didn't spend the time on a detailed drawing, but went straight into paint. The result was more vibrant colors, more painterly brushstrokes, but also a less accurate image. I'm still going to work on it, because I can't stand it being less than good. So maybe I'll do an update later...now for some sandpaper (;
