Traditional Art / Paintings / Portraits

16x20 Oil on Canvas. I need some honest feedback on this one.....

~PraecoArt Mar 9, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Great composition! Though I feel like the round roof in the back, and the right side of his face should have more shadows. the sun is very low and comes from the back as we can see, so I think I am expecting more defined and darker cast shadows. Makes it feel a little flat to me. the very left side of his head is illuminated very prominently, very directional light, so it is unexpected to see that the right side, which gets way less light, isn't really darkened at all.

I hope this makes sense.

Good feedback, thank you very much!

It's really good, the light and composition. If it was me i might have obsessed a bit more on the background made it a bit more out focus. Seems a bit flatter in comparison to the rest.
Great picture though, looks warm which it's not here!

Thanks for the feedback, I think you're right about the background

I don't really like commenting on peoples work as it's all a process and in time you'd sort of get there yourself.
And your damn good anyway and it feels a bit like me being blind telling you how to see if that makes sense!

haha. Well thanks, I see what you're saying, but sometimes others' experiences and abilities help us to see what we haven't yet learned to see. And it's always nice to have a fresh eye or opinion when you've been working and reworking something for a long time. Anyway, thanks for the comments
