WIP painting, 2 dancers

[jMi]

I have been working on this painting for months! I just keep forgetting about it and then pulling it out every once in awhile to work on it- I'd really love to finish it soon so I'm posting it as a WIP in here for motivation to finish the darn thing!

It's undone (obviously) and already hanging in my bedroom lol

Let me know what you guys think!

(the original image I based this off of is from a coloring book, alterations have been made however)



Motivate me please!

Thanks!

Throw on some bellydance music and I think that will do it!

I don't think it's obvious that it's a WIP at all!  Very colorful and purdies.

Is it on canvas board or stretched canvas?

[jMi]

Thanks guys!!

It's on stretched canvas!

I've had quite a few people tell me it would look fine if I didn't add anymore details. Everyone has actually suggested I only detail the clothes and jewelry and leave the faces and skin solid colored. I'm going to see how that looks when I finish the clothes

Ooh - beautiful.  It feels like it has a lot of life and movement.

I agree, just add some detail to the clothes and jewelry and then walk away. Let the painting inspire you....

It is just beautiful, I am a bellydancer and this is just sooo beautiful....

Love it.  Gods, I can't wait till I can get back to belly dancing again:)

This is really beautiful! I love the colors and movement and shapes. I like the skin as it is, too!

[teapotdnky]

Wow, I didn't know you painted! I love the colors, so vivid and alive!

jamie that's AWESOME!

i really like it the way it is. extra details on the clothing would be fun, but the faces are lovely the way they are..
