02190 Angel of Light

[tiniest rhombus]

First finished mini of 2016. I started this with the intention of gifting it to my Mom for Xmas. Well, Xmas is crazy busy and I didn't have time to finish her. So she'll get her tomorrow instead. She will be a part of the Nativity scene I plan on creating for her Xmas present this year. I loved painting this one, all that lovely cloth and the wings were super fun to do. I'm very pleased with the yellow. Yellow has been the bane of my existence but I think I may have cracked it. Now if only I could take a decent picture...

It looks great, and is the picture of a perfect archetypical nativity angel in her blue and golden yellow!

 

Try getting more level with the figure when taking your photos, so it looks more like if you were taking a photo of an actual person. Other than that, I think your photo lighting and color look just fine.

She could be one of those really detailed porcelain angels.

She looks angelic.

 

Great job TR, and I do think you nailed the yellow!

She is LOVELY. Perhaps it is the colors, but the Angel has an aura about her that suits the subject perfectly. RIGHTEOUSLY WELL DONE!

Awe thanks!

Thank you, I'm pleased with it. It was a lesson in shading cloth that's for sure.

She looks angelic.

Thanks! I'm so so happy with the yellow. I've struggled mightily with that color. What a lucky girl I am to have found Corporea's lovely angel as an excellent study in yellow.

Thank you kindly. Blue and yellow were my Grandma's favorite colors. I'm glad they suit the mini so well. Edited January 5, 2016 by tiniest rhombus

Good job! I know how you feel about yellow. It's such an easy color to get wrong or to throw off the entire balance of a piece, but you've done a great job with it here.
