Working on a new painting - GTP

[rosequoll]

Started working on a new painting, referenced from a photo of my partner's new female GTP. Looking good so far but I have NO IDEA what colour to do for the background. Arg...suggestions?

Painting is acrylic, 90x30cm; have included the reference image for funsies. =)

Looking good, keep us posted on how it turns out

Your very talented it's looking great.

Looking great. In my honest opinion, go with the black background. It seems to highlight the colors of the GTP

what about a darker gray starting from behind the head and washing it through to jet black by the time you reach the end of the canvas

Wellll.. I could bring it home to my place and send you photos of it doing fun things every other week to inspire you for background ideas...LOL

Looks great, I'd agree with either black or dark grey, something dark anyway.

You are very talented, great work.

Looks great, I'd hang it on my wall.

Awesome.... Love it...

Thanks guys! =)

Looks like blacks and greys are the go! I'm liking the idea of gradients, I did a patchwork sort of 'cloud' gradient behind my last one. I'll do that in deep greys and black for this one.

Okay, all done! Just need to paint the edges and sign it. =) Here are the rest of the progress pics and a completed one with my last painting.

That's awesome rosequoll, very well done

Thanks! =) They're technically up for sale, but I don't expect they'll go flying out the door. Planning on putting these two (and any more I do) up at the EKKA next year. =)

Rubbish' they will go like hot cakes! Name your price, I'll buy one

 

[rosequoll]

I have them listed at $400 on my Etsy. I know it's a lot but a friend insisted that was the price they should go up at (since I wasn't even going to sell them originally, didn't think they would sell!).

I, personally, am open to offers. =)
