Let the hooking begin

The hardest part of this for me is trying

not to over think my color choices….trying

to go more for value than color….

trying to keep a chunky feel….

I hooked the eye first….trying to get that mournful

look of Cleopatra’s eye in this picture.

Oh yeah, what I’m obsessed with today….

“You Gotta Love Her”
painting by artist Pam Holnback

I hope this inspires me today to keep on with the

chunky look and not overthink things.

  4. Oh my gosh Tammy the eye is excellent. You've caught her perfectly. Now the rest should be easy!!! I really can't wait to see this hooked. Love that painting too.....when you first look at it you see blothces of color and then further away you can see the real thing. Great inspiration!

  5. This is GREAT Tammy! You already have Cleopatra captured and that mournful look in her eye! It's really hard going for that painterly chunky feel... I'm hoping to learn from you how to go about it!!
    Hook on!!
