Someone call a doctor, because doing this painting killed my hands. Good gravy. That foliage. HOWEVER. Finally, with some help and encouragement I managed to get through it. Special thanks to my fiance for their support and not letting me die in a deep, deep sea of despair :D
Steven Universe ala “The Swing” in homage to one of my fave painters, Jean-Honoré Fragonard.
I love this so much I’m not even sure where to begin.
Pearl in the shadow being ignored, but pushing the swing.
Greg facing the spotlight, bringing him into focus, but still not more than Rose.
Garnet and Amethyst in the trees, looking down to protect her
and Rose in the middle. The focus both passively and actively. This is a painting about her, but it’s contrived. It feels staged to show herself off (I figured that because no one else has the same kinda pose and focus she does).
IS NOBODY GOING TO MENTION THE STONE STATUE OF LAPIS
