Evening of mankind?
A persiflage of that Bouguereau-guy's painting "Evening Mood". [link]

Done for art class.

This was, in fact, my first oil painting ever. I had never before used oil colors (or any other colors that weren't digital) until then and had been so very afraid of messing up. it's not perfect, yep, but I learnt quite a lot during the process... The photo quality is pretty bad, have to update with a better one that's truer to the colors (and doesn't mess with the anatomy D: )

Preeettty colors. There's something freeing about traditional work though, don't you think? Make a mistake, paint over it, or just work with it. It's so easy for the drawing to get tight in digital form, I've noticed.

BTW, totally love the drapery and highlighting going on around the knee. Bravo.

exactly... to be honest, I'm not that much into digital work anymore, at least for the moment. I've never been the clean-working type, anyway, and love messy and brush strokes and all... so yeah, real paint is awesome.

I'm still doing digital paintings, tho....
