Compare and Contrast



In my recreation of “Portrait of Lydia Delectorskaya” I wished to create depth in the portrait of the woman as well as add complexity that I felt the original lacked. I stood by my statement and kept the two element of the original piece I found to be interesting, that being the colors and black outline. The easiest to notice similarity between the two would be the similar color scheme, though they are not exact. The black outlines are present in both, but in the new painting the outlines are used throughout the hair more and creates a spiral pattern. The new painting has depth added with the use of shading and re-purpose of abstract shapes from the original. I used the blue on the side of the original portrait as a way of shading on the new painting. Other depth is added with shading and highlights throughout the portrait in the new painting. Colors are spread out more evenly and connect the blue contrast of the face to the green hair and the character to the background with red added to the body.
