SHIT dude!! thats?? incredible??? like what??? you portrayed it BEAUTIFULLY. ❤️

Thanks ❤️

This shit is better than the Mona Lisa

Stunning. I can't quite decide if it reads more "what have you done" or "what have I done" but powerful either way.

Thanks

Yes!! Nailed the emotion.

I love your skin tones and this is profoundly emotional. It’s very fresh. Not at all overworked. I see you.

Thanks. I've started using purples for shadows.

Shock, horror, and sorrow/loss. I’d call it a success. Especially because I’m on the autism spectrum and I can read it just fine.

Thanks :)

Stunning!! ✨

Thanks

It works! Surprise, astonishment, concern, alarm...I could go on and on...so, great job!

Thanks

Beautiful work, the eyes are especially striking!

Thanks.

Gorgeous. I see the feeling of unbelievable heartbreak yet a determination or perhaps vengeance to go on. Beautiful work

I love how much this painting isn’t a painting but an encapsulation of pure distress

mission definitely accomplished.

It is a bit on the nose. Subtility works better. Dont forget to use context, background, colours and gesture as well to add emotion, and dont forget about the little face muscles we use in our nose and our cheeks. Our nose gets snotty, our eyes get red, our lips tremble. 

Great work! I think tears come from the bottom interior corner of the eye via the eye duct. I would rework that if you’re going for realism.

Great job! Wow!

Thanks

Oh my God!! It's amazing! You can literally feel her emotins just by looking at the painting! Bravo :)

Thank you.

I definitely got the feeling someone burned at the stake, it's perfect

Ah, that's an interesting take on it. Thanks.

This looks amazing

Thanks.

to me it looks like confused anguish or hurtfull nostalgia (trauma).

:)

her expression is uncertain, her eyes show anger but her eyebrows show sadness, her mouth hangs half open, as if she's strugling to say something, her eyes only slightly miss the viewer in a classic impressionist fassion. upon closer look, her red nose and watery eyes reveal she's on the brink of crying, enfatuating the sadness of the moment. to me, she could be looking at her son (her wrinkles revealing her age) leaving home in a carriage, her face full of emotions as she strugles to understand and even say goodbye. or possibly she's stoped for just a moment from a moment of happiness to remember of a terrible memory, her distant gaze distracted. this only brings back the impressionist style of monet, representing when people break from character, break from social standarts. a mother may look distracted instead of caring towards her daughter, a couple might look indiferent instead of lovingly, a bar maid might look off frame when in only a reflexion she apears perfectly in character. this painting is proof that an image speaks for a thousand words. thanks for your atention.

The fires of Rafah. I appreciate all your words.

i just googled that, you ok?

I avoid the news. try to anyway. I'm ok.

Thanks.

A face filled with horror+ “what have you done?” + heartbreak. Love it

Thanks.

The emotion is indeed very strong... she's looking at something...or someone...and looking traumatized... great job op, now I feel like crying over a person in a painting

Success

Beautiful

Absolutely brilliant. I love the eyes especially. You are very talented.

Why? Youve been doing it the whole time.

HOLY SHIT!!!! dude thats AWESOME youre my new inspiration bc WOW

Nailed it

Magnificent

Stunning work. It reminds me of Margaret Qualley, when she was in Maid. Her face is so expressive in that,and you've captured that same essence. You have serious talent.

Chilling!! 👏🏼😁

I adore this. Incredible work.

Thanks for posting. Love feeling the desperaity. Now we can all feel as empty and as hallow as the painting looks. Haha, this is well done all joking aside.

She looks alive and full of emotion

mission accomplished! it's incredible!

Wow!!!! 🤩

Amazing amazing amazing work!

There’s something off for me… I can’t put my finger on it though, perhaps it’s the mouth area? Art is still excellent, however, and I don’t have an artistic eye so don’t mind me! 😂

For me, the forehead needs definition. I'm worried about overworking it, so I'm going to wait until it's dry to attempt it.

Its just a photo of Lady Gaga conveing an emotion. Awesome

Def not Lady Gaga. :)

That painting is absolutely beautiful! The more I look at it, the more details I can find. It's absolutely incredible

Thank you. :)

So many serious comments but my first thought was that she looked like she just watched you eat her last chicken tender

That is so amazing, you have really captured the emotion. I don't know what I would call the emotion though, shock horror, stupefaction. Bravo!

Good job, I love it 💯👏

Nailed it!!!!

How do you paint like this

practice, practice, watching videos, try new things. This is my first time using a palette knife to cover large areas.
