Description I went to an art museum, and sat for an hour or so drawing this copy of a painting by Marie Louise Elisabeth VigΓ©e-Le Brun. I chose to draw this particular painting, because in the museum, it was one of the few painted by a woman.Β 


I did this for a class assignment

Hi there! I read the comments below, and it will very hard for me to add something.

Well, when I first looked at this picture, I thought: "Wow, here we are back to some old style sorts of representations! "

I also see you're pretty interested in art, aren't you?Β

Yes I am very interested in art. I am not a master at it, but I like to learn about the masters.Β

Alrighty! Well, when you're interested you can learn how to master it better, right? ^^ And with pleasure.Β

I quite like the use of colors in the dress and the woman. Such contrasting colors create such vibrancy and the pinks in the face and hands make the woman's complexion look so rosey and flush.

Β 

The woman is well-done, with a brushy-looking texture that forms the creases and shading to her dress, but I cannot say the same for the background. Everything looks rather messy, and granted there is a bit a messiness to the woman, but everything comes together nicely to give her structure and still make her look fluid. The coloring in the background doesn't look like it was given the same attention as the woman was, with the stiff looking trees, and the center-top area, where there are some white spots. And there's the top-right area where the lack of color makes it look quite simplistic, and also the white spots are very visible and hard to ignore.

Β 

I'm guessing you used color pencils, so when it comes coloring light areas, instead of just laying the bright colors over the white paper, try using grey or even a white pencil to fill in the white areas, then apply pastel colors before adding more brighter colors.

Thank you for the comment I agree with your description of the background... For the assignment, I was only allowed to draw in front of the picture. I did not have time to work on the background as much as I would have liked... Maybe now that I have sent in the assignment, I will go back and fix the background.Β

Beautiful job with the colors, And her face is very visible and rather anatomically correct. Proportions seem alright too I believe you just need a little more work with back rounds!

Thanks, yeah, I need practice with backgrounds... Β They are challenge for me... Most of the artwork in my gallery don't have backgrounds because of that

Nice work, I like the texture and how you've put many different colours in here.

The only thing bothering me is how you've cropped the picture - it's clean along the left and top edge, but on the bottom and right sides you can see the sketchy edge and white paper. I think you should either crop those 2 sides as well (probably have to redo the signature) or expand the top and left so that the white shows on all sides.

But anyway that's just technical stuff and I think you've done really well with the drawing!
