Hello,

My primary painting program of choice is Mypaint, but I occasionally use Gimp for artwork. My primary use of Gimp is usually post-processing. Though I'm impressed with the new features included in 2.8, including the new brush physics.

I'm trying my hand at a Mona Lisa painting using just Gimp.

This is just an experimental preview. There's still a lot to be done and fixed regarding the sketch. The face is still up for remodelling. This was achieved with the GPS 2.8 extension:



I saved this as 90% using the "save for web" plugin. This is 30% the size of the actual painting.

Very interesting. It's nice to see WIPs and watch the progress.

excellent blending David-C nice job

Wonder' what ole Mona would think if she knew how famous she'd be for hundreds of years. xD

Looks good so far!

Like to see your finished picture. It is great so far.

might bring a smile to her face

Very impressive David-C.

Thanks all. Wondering if I could get some critique on the hands before I move in for the kill with the paint job:

it's SO good, so far.

the left hand fingers look a bit 'blocky', otherwise very good.
