Il y avait encore beaucoup de versions intermédiaires, mais pour éviter de vous ennuyer profondément avec trop de versions que plusieurs se diraient, oui là c’est terminé, je passe à la plus récente, vais aussi présenter l’avant dernière version, pourquoi ? en photoshop ce serait facile, je superposerais les deux visages, un est bien mais manque l’ombre, l’autre sur la dernière version est un peu trop, hum comment dire, tout simplement trop prononcé, je pense que quelque part entre les deux serait très bien, j’allais écrire parfait, ce qui serait un peu beaucoup prétentieux, de plus si on atteint la perfection, le plus difficile est de se maintenir là, donc la perfection ce sera pour la dernière toile, celle que je peindrai le dernier jour avant de partir…:)
I still did had many of those previous stages of this painting, so to prevent boring you to death with versions that could look as finished painting, may as well jump to the last, and also the one before, why, the famous step too far, there one movie where there was a bridge too far, me it is not as dramatic, just a step too far on her face, in photoshop I could probably take a bit of one and superpose on the most recent version, in painting I guess I will have to rest on my skills, always a bit tricky, somewhere between the two versions would be almost perfect, hum perfection is a bit pretentious and besides, once you get there, it is a lot of pressure to keep up there, so I will keep trying for perfection for the last one before I will have to go…..:)
Donc les deux versions la plus récente et celle où j’aurais dû m’arrêter, la prochaine sera la bonne, à moins que je m’arrête ici, le débat est toujours en cours dans ma tête, finalement en regardant de nouveau, c’est peut-être ok….et la perfection attendra, pas pressé d’y arriver ou du moins d’essayer…:)
So the last two versions, the debate is still going on in my head, stop here and tell myself the next one will be better, or try to somehow get back a bit of the softness of the previous version and sign it, won’t be perfect I know, but as I look again, maybe the last one is kind of more than ok, not perfect, but I am not in a hurry to reach or try to reach perfection…:)


Et pourquoi pas je mets ici un rappel de certaines des versions de ce tableau, voir la page sur mon site jmr-art.com pour la totalité, et la photo du modèle Julie, un bonus aujourd’hui… And why not posting a slideshow of some versions covering from the beginning of this painting, the whole collection is on my site jmr-art.com, and also the model’s photo, let’s say it is a bonus for today post’s…

La photo originale a été trouvé sur internet, elle semble apprécier les bottes, pas trouvé copie des ‘droits d’auteur’ du photographe ou producteur. / Photo found on the net, she seems to like wearing boots…did not find the photo credentials, like photograph, designer etc,
Not bad.
Beautiful, a bit sexy and colorful.
Thank you, still debating with myself about the face, maybe in general try to soften some parts, but not sure…probably why I wrote that in the title…and yes she’s a bit sexy 🙂
Therefore I like the software solution. A mixture of try and error and undo- functions 🙂
I think there is nothing wrong with looking sexy in a right context 🙃
Sometimes, almost always I would like undo and redo command in a painting…:) but that would not be painting anymore, at least I have the pics, and I don’t mind putting different versions on my online shop…maybe it is not the most ‘ethical’ thing to do, but I think it is ok, we have the means now to do this…so I take it..:) Ah sexy models, most of my paintings have them, so I guess I like to paint them…
It’s nothing wrong to like painting sexy models 🙂
Sometimes I like the undo-functions. Especially when it comes to test things like form and color combinations.
I like or would like both..:D
You should create some sneak peek section 😉
