Hmm okay, good advice. So should i use the whole pallette, from pure white to pure black?
I think i have to try to overdo the contrast on a practice piece (an arm or so).
Then i could figure it out.

Will get on this tomorrow. painting a NMM steel part with (i hope) extreme contrast.

Hi all.

I painted a freehand banner, which i have begun at a painting workshop with Derwish 3 Weeks ago. There Derwish gave us some tips on Freehand painting. And this ist my result, and in the same time the first Freehand i ever painted!

For the first try it looks good, while next time i have to watch better on proportions.
Note: As this is a practice piece, it belongs to no model!

Do you like it?

The idea and concept I really like, but since I saw the original I can see difference But this is a good way to learn, while trying to copy great painters. I do it often looking at CMON
