FIRST OIL Painting.

Acrylic underneath to block it in, and then oils to render in some detail.
I had limited time.
I took some photoshop to it to bring out the glow a little more in the chakra points

This piece is about Beauty, I chose to represent the common victim of the issue of "What is Beautiful". I chose to represent the insides but in a different way.
The first layer at the bottom is skin peeling away being cleansed by fire, next is the muscles, and I skipped bones and other stuff to avoid to much going on the piece.
And last, the inside, the metaphysical, the nebulous of our soul our entirety, the kundalini the chakras, our third eye.

If you're interested in this piece or looking for more
please feel free to indulge in facebook page :) :facebook: [link]

Hi! I'm interested in potentially using this piece on the business cards and website for my storytelling drama therapy troupe. If you're interested, I'd like to check in with you about whether that's a possibility, and what it might look like.

My email address is julian@michels.com. My storytelling organization is called Story Yoga. You can see an examples of our videos here: [link]

Best! Thank you for the beauty!

Excellent movement and abstract composition! Like humanity transcending the cosmos, very cool.

This piece is one of the most stunningly original things I think I've ever seen. Crazy jealous if this is really your first oil painting

Thank you! <3
I tried :)
I think when I am more confident with oil painting, anatomy, and ..everything lol, that I should re do this piece.
Thanks again.
Happy to hear people enjoy my piece, I didn't quite get the same response, or well any from people in my class.

No need to redux, just maybe do another in the same vein
And sorry to hear about your class, they sound dumb, must be hell.

Thank you for saying so!
Hmm
Well, I am working on some pieces currently that are of the same theme right now. I'm trying to get away from all this Elven, Tolkien work I've doing lately.

(Sigh* sometimes people say nothing when work is bad, or astoundingly awesome, it is frustrating at times.)
