In today’s video I’m looking at work by community member Carmen LLovera de López.
We discuss:
- How she uses a photo reference but still manages to create original art
- A trick to creating accurate proportions in portraits
- Why ten (or more!) people can start with the same image reference and it always comes out different
I also offer some tips on being accurate with proportion when working with photo reference, not to mention and easy trick to create harmony in your painting.
The free challenge I mentioned called Soulbrush Sessions is entirely free and you can sign up below.
What is your biggest challenge when it comes to working with a photo reference? Let’s keep the conversation going in the comments below.
Hi, i loved your comments on this artist. They were very helpful to make this a better painting. I think the left side of her face was done well, and the right side of her face is painted slightly wider than her reference. Thank you for showing us this.
Thank you Carole for watching and sharing!
