I started out with nothing but a knife on this one.
I`ve been watching all these great artists working with nothing but a knife lately and I decided to have a go.
I lasted about 2 hours then I grabbed the big brush.
I`ve apparently got this control issue to get over.
Daily Deviation
Given 2006-03-01
Christine by *linwood is absolutely spectacular with not only painting technique but the blend of abstract form and realism. (Suggested by ~mySeity and Featured by `oedalis)
Steve, omg...I am in love with this piece. Holy shit. Seriously...I knew you had something more incredible in you to be explored but this just floors me.
Please, explore this more. It's magnificent.

This is pretty amazing. I am slightly troubled by the left hand pinky finger but otherwise it is utterly captivating. The contrasting lines between background and subject, the shading, the realistic curves and flesh tones again contrasting with the background colors, it all makes her misery and her beauty both stand out in contrast just as her lovely form is in contrast with the raw, jagged background. She shouldn't be where she is, both literally and metaphorically and so the piece grabs me and doesn't let me go.
im glad you grabbed the brush it contrasts well with the background, although it would be sad if you didnt try to use the knife again becuase this is fantastic.

We have decided to organize this contest to motivate people create more art. We would be happy if you would give it a try. You can think of anything you want, just make sure you still respect the theme. You can choose to illustrate dreams, nightmares or even both of them. Anything you want! Try not to be macabre if you are picturing nightmares. Respect the rules, have fun and most important, follow your heart!

I do like the way you see the painting.
It means I`m getting my point across.

Ben.
The pose is very peaceful. The background adds some color without overpowering the figure.
