My alterations might make her more correct or more conventionally attractive but somehow loses a certain quality. She goes from being a goddess to the prettiest girl in the village.

Yes, in the left-hand version her left eye does seem, also to me, too high. Hermes2020 you are correct that her right eye is identical in both versions. The left one is actually the original, and the right one has my adjustments. I just couldn't help myself trying to 'fix' things.

Eyes and mouth. Size and placement.

Firstly, I think the canvas is a loss as you've gone through to the weave in about a hundred little spots. Those little spots need protection from the oil paint. The YouTube guy over does it as it's a tear not a void it doesn't need a patch just bridge gluing if he did use a patch, it should...

Was driving and shading my eyes with a stiff right-angled cupped hand to the bright but low sun also to my right when I noticed a lady on the left side of the road in some form of wide belted outfit in cadet blue. Turning my head abruptly to note her distinctiveness she quickly saluted back as...

A little more tinkering in odd moments.

Semi-tech phobic Boomer playing with Krita. Haven't a clue what I'm doing or can do, so just using it to sketch out ideas and possibly use those to make paintings later. I've been pulling images out of my childhood. Things I don't see anymore. Get the idea down quickly before it's lost and then...

Sounds like a variation of SID (Support Induced Discoloration) For the first few weeks, until they harden up more, many acrylic polymers can pick up staining dissolvable elements from the support. Most often seen with darker woods and similarly darker woven fabrics such as jute. Or at least it's...

I apologise that I can't dedicate much time to this. Basically, I have a feeling and are trying to place why after the fact. The placement of table wear seems odd in the first in that one I can't be sure that some of them aren't occupying parts of the same space or that some parts of the...

I'm getting an internal AI ping from some of those pictures. They're still very good but I'm interested in what might be his process.

Still life in French or Italian translates to a suggested double meaning of 'death life' so sometimes they were used deliberately as a hidden message on the briefness of life. So, it's possible Goya was taking this and running with it.

Sheeren's Pollocks had me a bit confused. They seem professional, (real?) but poorer versions of his best work. Turns out they're by Ed Sheeren himself.

'America' was stolen and broken up never to be recovered. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the artist considers this event to be now part of the artwork. Banana taped to the wall was another of his pieces.
