My color and detail study of Solomon J. Solomon’s “Samson”. I had to do a larger study of Delilah because I love everything about her in this painting. The expressive pose, and the look in her eyes as she mocks Samson with his cut hair. Also the way Solomon used black/darker colors to frame Samson, then did the opposite by putting lighter, warmer hues behind Delilah and her dark hair/the green-grey on her chest??? It’s so perfect.
U G H. I could talk about this all day, but this study REALLY helped me learn a little bit more about color, painting clothing and using darker shadows, three things I really needed to practice.
