finished!































I finished my painting. I'm actualy surprised how cute the monkey has become. Now I can spend the weekend thinking of a title for it. I don't like it if a work is "untitled". I'm always dissapointed when I read that in a gallery or museum. A title can give a work another dimension or you learn somithing about the artist.
And I'm thinking of making some more paintings with this figure and the monkey, I already started sketching so we will see...
Below a close-up of the monkey.

    So so cool! I love the girl and the monkey and the background! Amazing! I agree that paintings should have titles. But I don't like when somebody else than the artist puts the title. My art teacher did that once, it gave my work another meaning which I didn't like.

    thanks for the nice comments!

    @Lela: that is so not done, to give someones work a title!

    @lovelies: I use acrylic and airbrush-paint. I part of the background is airbrushed and I use the paint also as a kind of watercolour. This paint is very intensive, you don`t find this intensity in a watercolour. But the paint is quite expensive...

    Congratulations, what a beautiful and special piece of work Céline! Beautiful colouring and effects. And that litte monkey just looks great ... as if it's ready to jump out of the painting any moment!

    Such a beautiful painting! Every time I see an untitled artwork I have the feeling that is unfinished. A bit stupid of me, I know!
