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.
