Fiery

Painting that you might recognize from my recent Before/After meme! fav.me/d3dvh85 I hope people can judge this piece now without being distracted by the juxtaposition of the older work, which I really feel has a great effect... all these bright colors definitely may look jarring next to a more muted piece. Having no prior expectations changes the experience of an artwork upon a viewer, in my opinion.

But anyway, I really enjoyed painting this portrait and using a wide variety of colors to flesh out her features (her being Ginny Weasley from Harry Potter.) Tried to capture an intense, confident, sexy Quidditch Captain look (which is what a mid-twenties Ginny would be! She's survived a war and she's not supposed to be a timid little pixie.) Drawn in Adobe Photoshop with a Wacom tablet, no ref, several hours.
