Early Portfolio Work - Fontania by Steve Stanley

Early Portfolio Work - Fontania
"...as each wave washes over her, she can put aside the responsibilties of the world she knows below." An image circa 2008 attempting to show my passion for mermaid myth and legend. The goal then was to try and create a translucent-fish-eel skin. On the the down side, the sea-foam lacked the effect I was after. Digital airbrush and blenders in Corel X. I truly appreciate your visit to my gallery and invite you to view the other entries too. Any comments or crits you would like to leave, are welcome, as they help me to grow. © 2008 Steve Stanley

    ...thanks sooo much Wicker. Debated about re-working this one still, as the foam could be improved, but, haven't gotten around to it. Really appreciate your nice comments.

    ...nice feedback Lunar. I appreciate all of it greatly. The attempt on the arm to be inside the wave does give the illusion of a shortened perspective. The lighting of the hand you mention never occured to me until you pointed it out, wow, thanks. I agree

    I like the idea of a mermaid calming herself in the waves a lot. The water is looking real nice too. If I had critique to give it would be on the length of her arm. It appears a little short from the elbow to the hand. It may in fact be the lighting o

    ...thanks KarIN, as always, your comments and input are appreciated. I agree with you regarding seeing it in my minds eye and transferring what it to canvas. I was satisfied with the feel of the movement here, but not so much with the foam. It came off mo

    ...a well thought out, non condecending critique is always well received Andre'. Your input is well intended, thank you. Water, as with all of our worlds natural items are difficult to reproduce accurately. It has been a challenging road, and will con

    This is a well conceived piece, Steve but I hope you don't mind me giving a little advice. The top of the wave below the foam needs to be translucent to give the transparency of water a more realistic texture. I realize that water is not easy to paint

    I like the water in this, like the figure it,s well painted, as for the sea foam this is very difficult to get right, I think the best way is to study some sea scape artist,s. 5**
